mpg file on media player on multimonitor sysem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

I have an notebook with an integrated VGA. the laptop has a WinDVD
version 5 installed. when i play mpg files on media player and take it
on the extended display the media player shows a black screen. if i
play mpg file on winDVD 5 and take it on the extended display it playes
fine.

Now if i install WinDVD version 6, media player also starts working
fine. that is i play the same mpg file on media player and take it on
the extended display and everything is fine.

But i want to understand what exactly is going on. I know that on
installation WinDVD 6 is setting somethings in the registry due to
which media player starts working fine. I would like to understand
exactly what WinDVD 6 installation might be doing which is making the
media player to work and why media player doesn't work before WinDVD6
installation. I read somewhere that media player does not come with an
mpg decoder, does that has anything to do with this. Any help or
suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Mudeem
