No video on 2nd screen (fix in 10.1.3)

[noisy1]

I'm running ver 10.1.2 but having issues with video files.

When configured for a single screen, the .avi file runs fine in the preview window and also in the editor test window.

When I configure for two screens ( which is how I normally run my desktop), I see no preview window on the main cue list.The option to select screen 2 in the editor test window is available but when selsected, there is no output on the 2nd screen.

I have unchecked the "Turn on DirectX Video Acceleration " box in Windows Media Player 11as suggested in another item.

Video card : NVIDIA Quadro NVS

Any ideas please?

sometimes when i run videos in powerpoint it works fine ont the laptop but does not output to the screen. we solved the problem by turning the hardware accelaration down! hope this helps. what OS are you using?

Hi Hornett ... thanks for the suggestion - tried reducing acceleration with no success ... fyi this is on a desktop pc with dual output video card.

Sorry - forgot to indicate OS in first post .... Windows Xp - SP3

I have no other problems with dual-screening my desktop etc ..

Look down the page a few postings. I had the same problem. I sent Mike my .scs file and he suggested that I revert to 10.1.0 (he thought the problem might be in having two videos ready at the same time). I am now using 10.1.0 and all is good. Everything is doing what it is supposed to.

Give it a shot. Nothing to loose.

Thanks for the advice. I tried running 10.1.0 but had the same results.

However, I noticed that the video output always goes to Screen 1 ( ie the primary screen - the one with the windows taskbar) despite screen 2 being selected for preview in the editor.

I can "sort-of" run the system by dragging the SCS main window to screen 2 but the downside is that if I right-click in the non-window area of screen 2, the Windows task bar pops up on screen 1 with the video output.

I've tried re-assigning the window identities but the problem remains - that is the video output always displays on the primary screen.

I have found this will occur if the second display is setup as an extension of the desktop to the left instead of to the right. A fix is now ready for 10.1.3.
