Re: Rendered Mpeg2 720p doesnt play on other system.

The system is a dual core 3 ghz system, 4 gb ram, nvidia 7300GS video card (which ironically has PUREVIDEO HD hardware mpeg2 decoding), The video runs from an INDEPENDENT SATA 7200rpm drive :) and was benchmarked (Via HD Tune) on the same system as having 90Mbps average transfer rate. Completely defragged etc etc etc. Each and every element that could optimize disk speed was taken care of. All throughput factors have been taken into consideration. Im very sure this is not a disk bottle neck issue.

It would be worthwhile to note that the same system plays YUV and UNCOMPRESSED 720p. Im sure your aware what kind of transfer rate that is :).

This something to do with decoding the mpeg 2 im sure. It stutters in windows media player itself. Are you aware of any mpeg2 hd codecs which might do the trick ? Divx in an avi wrapper wont have the quality of Mpeg2 HD right ?

On a side note what presentation softwares can you suggest which can playback HD video to a 2nd monitor from the pc but will hold a black screen displaying only the video and nothing else. No mouse no desktop nothing should be visible on the 2nd monitor. All playback controls and player etc are shown only on the 1st monitor.
