    Anyone have a recommendation for an H.264 codec that can actually play movies on a secondary monitor? CoreAVC doesn't. BTW, XVid and the MJPG codec from Pegasus work fine on a secondary monitor. Marc

      Try http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm[^] DL version 2.77 Full, choose the "lots of stuff" install, and use media player classic. Works like a charm for me.

      Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

        Thanks! I'll give it a try. I also discovered that LeadCodecs[^] H.264 decoder works on the secondary monitor. Marc

          ffdshow should be able to play h264 on the second monitor. But suppodedly it's much slower than coreAVC. I wouldn't recommend installing codec packs like K-lite as those contain not just one, but multiple codecs which may or may not conflict with each other (k-lite for example contains both haali and gabest media splitters), usually codec packs also don't remove themselves completely so after one too many installs your system might be a mess. I would only recommend installing what you actually need, so that you know what you're actually installing and can properly uninstall if you have to.

            Follow-up, The LeadCodec is a performance DOG. Uninstalled it and tried KLite and it's great. Very good performance and it works on the secondary monitor. Thank you for the recommendation. I was actually able to remove the xvid and mjpg codecs as well, as KLite does it all. Marc

                I'm assuming SD only... It may just be a case of disabling DxVA H/W acceleration or enabling VMR9 support ~
