I have a strange problem I am hoping someone may know something about. Using MPC on a dual screen system. I have Ultramon installed and using FFDSHOW to decode all codecs. If watching xvid encoded media on the primary screen, cpu usage is 3-5%. If i then move to the secondary screen CPU usage goes up to 11%. If i make it full screen, it then uses 50-60%. Very strange. It did this with both my old 7800GTX and now with my x1900xt. I will try other media players to see if they are the same but I really love my MPC :P Any help is appreciated!
 
I shall give it a go, didnt really like it the last time I used it but if this problem is specific to MPC then I will have to start liking other media players :)
 
NathanE that makes me happy! Although doesnt help me for another 6 months or so :P

jmahoney: I just drag the window to whichever monitor I want and it plays.

I tried WMP and it too has this spike, but its no where near as bad. CPU usage was 9% at most, so only 4% more. Will try other media players to see which is best.
