Strange Windows video issue

<< < (2/2)

protokatie:
Due to the video overlay "problem" and the fact that WMP generally sucks, I usually use BS player for everything. Much more efficient (as far as I can tell) and doesnt seem to have the problem with my dual screen system that WMP has. Also, BSplayer's install will ask if you want new codecs to be DLed, and therefor can handle pretty much any video file I have ever run across.

@DJ, what player do you typically use? I can't imagine you using WMP, it isnt your style.

Ummon:

Yeah in clone mode your video overlay will typically only go to the primary monitor.  Reverse which monitor is primary to get overlay on the other monitor.

Oh I know. That's a hassle, though. Really, though, I swear it worked before. Anyways.....

Yeah, I know, people always like to use something different than what's embedded. I can tend to like embedded systems, and early on actually tried a few out, but preferred WMP for various reasons, including interface and windowing issues (or lack of them in this case). But, yeah, there are some files it won't play, I think like mp4 and definitely ma4, so maybe I will go with something else.
