Multiple Video Cards and MPC?

[ddrueding]

Media Player Classic is awesome. And it can output video to any display hooked up to your primary video card. But it goes blank or crashes when outputting to a screen driven by another video card. Has anyone else run into this? Is there another player I should be looking at?

Re: Crashing
Sorry, no idea.

Re: Secondary video card
IIRC (and this was a while ago, so maybe IDRC) I think that I had to change the render mode before it would work on a secondary adapter. Of course I cannot remember what mode worked, just that I fiddled with it.

Edit: I also recall changing codec preferences at some point as well; something about ffdshow - either had to disable or enable for it to work (I know, not very helpful, but might provide a hint as how to proceed).

It is appreciated, thanks. I'll leave any successes here for the record.

Thanks for starting me on the right course...

DirectShow Video: "Old Renderer"

It will even split screens if I ask nicely...
