I have my HTPC connected to two displays; A LCD monitor with VGA and a plasma with HDMI (or DVI/HDMI). The LCD functions as the primary display and plasma as secondary and extended. I use different resolutions. Vista 32-bit as OS and WindDVD 9 for movies.
When I want to watch a movie I drag WinDVD over to the plasma. I'm not, however, getting this to work when I have hardware acceleration turned on. I've tried my onboard ATI 3300, ATI 3450 and now ATI 4550 but with the exact same result. Movies are either shown with weird graphic or I just get a black screen. Hardware acceleration works fine if I only have the plasma enabled.
What's the cause of this? Vista related? WinDVD related? Or a graphic card issue? Does anyone know?
