Media Player and Nvidia Ge Force Go Grafic Card

Postby Erica Woodhull » Thu Aug 11, 2011 7:45 am

A new thing on NVIDIA Ge Force Go Cards!

These Cards are often used in mobile computers and they have a feature that can crash a Pandoras Box Media Player very quick. On these Cards you can choose wich screen is the Video Playback Full Screen. That works with the Windows Media Player, but not with Pandoras Box.

What happens if you have choosen this option is that you will see the Pandoras Box user interface with a working preview Window on your primary screen, and a full screen render output on the secondary. Since the Media Player can only use one output it will chrash as soon as you change a clip. Espacially if you are using different resolutions on both outputs.

So, if you are running a Pandoras Box Media Player on such a grafic card, make sure that you deavtivate the full screen output on the secondary screen.
To do this, enter the NVIDI Control Center by right klicking on the desktop. Choose the secondary display and click "ge force go"! A menue will appear next to the window. in this Menue you klick "nView Display Setting" and then "Full Screen Video". After that you will have a scroll menue in the main window. Take "disable" and apply this.
With this settings everything will work the way it should work.

Hi Erica,

thanks for sharing this info!
As you said right, it is always a good idea to keep both connected monitors at the same resolution. Otherwise the render engine can stop with a serious error in some circumstances.
