[QUOTE="yaworski, post: 20422"] Hi. I know that MP doesn't work properly on secondary display and that this is connected to the MS limitations. But there is small application that somehow manages to do that. It is Media Player Classic (you can get one [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/]HERE[/url]). I'm using that app to watch movies on my tv which is set as secondary display. It's using VMR9 Renderless to display video. When I watch movie on my primary display then cpu usage is 10-25% on AthlonXP1700+. When I then move window to the secondary display it uses 100% of CPU. And this is something what is going on with in the same situation. But when I move player's window on secondary display and THEN load a video file and play it then I get 10-25% cpu usage even in fullscreen (same as on primary display). What dou you think about it? Someone from the MP team please comment this. ----edit---- And I have some idea. Option-checkbox, something like 'Always show on secondary display when active'. Just looking at MediaPlayerClassic I'm thinking that renderer shound be loaded after showing window on the secondary display (like in MPC you should load video file after moving it's window to sec. display). I think author of MPC should know better how make this to work than I :). Maybe someone from the team should contact with him? [/QUOTE]
