I have upgraded my Windows XP Pro HTPC with a Gigabyte motherboard that has AMD780G chipset. I also bought a Philips 47" 9603H LCD TV with HDMI connection. I also have a 29" VGA monitor next to the LCD TV.
I want to both surf and watch "WebTV" and watch TV recordings on the 47" screen without tearing.
If I clone the desktop screen and use VMR9 custom renderer I get terrrible tearing on the 47" screen.
If I expand the desktop and start GBPVR in VMR9 Custom on second monitor (47" screen) I get tearing in video.
If I expand the desktop and start GBPVR in VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive on second monitor (47" screen) I get NO tearing in video, but then I cant watch WebTV.
Has anyone used an external graphics card (ATI 3450 or 4450) on a 780G motherboard and used VMR9 Custom or EVR with a dual monitor/graphic card setup with cloned desktop and gotten rid of the tearing?
