[QUOTE="citizenkeys, post: 420887, member: 91851"] I had this exact same problem: intel mobile 965 graphics, ffdshow tryouts, and media portal. I had the most recent intel drivers and most recent ffdshow tryouts. I run media portal fullscreen on the secondary display on my laptop. The solution was two things: * use the vga and not the svideo output as my secondary display since it gets a higher resolution. * use a different resolution and/or a different refresh rate on the secondary display. i got 1280x1024 at 60hz to work. i'm still testing others. I am almost certain this is some funky issue with how intel's drivers, ffdshow tryouts, and media portal interact. The shark 007 codecs didn't solve anything. I got a second (EVEN BETTER) solution to this problem: 1. install the official xvid codec. 1. open up "ffdshow video decoder configuration" (the red square icon). 2. click the top "Codecs" option on the top left. 3. on the decoder column next to "Xvid" click the "Xvid" option, and on the drop-down choose "disabled". 4. Click apply. Choose "disabled" as needed for any codec with which you have issues. If the video doesn't play, download the actual codec. This will disable ffdshow from decoding the video, *NOT* the audio. In my particular case, prior to installing ffdshow, media portal would play video but not audio. this solution fixed everything.
