[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 65669, member: 22671"] I also have this problem on an NVidia GeForce 6800 GT. I was testing a hidef clip of Lord Of the Rings, it plays perfectly tear free in Windows Media Player 10 but in mediaportal in the fast action scenes it tears the place up! I'm not using DX Exclusive mode as that seemed to slow the U.I down too much to be useable. Maybe someone can advise the key nvidia settings they have if it works ok? that said if it's playing A-OK in WMP then I guess they're currently fine. I'm presuming it is to do with the hardware overlay as when I play back via WMP in clone mode the secondary monitor shows the WMP U.I etc but is just black where the video would normally be. In MP both screen show the video so presumably hardware overlay is not being used in MP. I did once work out a way with some nvidia driver tyo get dual screen to monitor+TV so both played and there was no tearing but I cannot remember where/what setting or what driver it was with. I'm currently running forceware 81.98 video drivers I could maybe consider the post 0.2release patch, but I don't wanna wipe all my settings/plugs out, at least not if there's no gain.
