tried that too..i can stretched it up to my 3rd monitor and still the same problem, extend it to 2nd monitor, i'll get a glitched, music goes out of sync..play it on primary monitor alone using wmp and vdj program, no problem at all, extend it back to 2nd display and minimizing it. problem goes away...so in my opinion Hoster has nothing to do with it..it's the graphic cards thats is not powerful enough to play music videos, and also when playing music videos, cpu uses too much power, so you might wanna check on that too

Everything works fine on my machine and setup (laptop, singers LCD monitor, and 60" Plasma). I will be setting up in about an hour for tonights show.

I can understand the CPU working overtime especially if the video card's GPU isn't up to the task.

This one has me baffled! Will play with it more.

The videos that you are having problems with (studdering), Did you rip them straight from the DVD or did you use DVD Ripping Software?

If you used DVD Ripping software, what is the Name of the program?

Try closing Hoster then double click on one of the files and see what the default player might be.

Is it WMP or Apple?

not using any of them..i'm using vdj pro7. which has 2 windows like Hoster, i cant stretch ( split ) wmp all the way to my 3rd screen, videos play fine , no problem at all in wmp..i have a diff. setup on my monitors..2nd display is an extension of my primary monitor and the 3rd monitor is a mirror( cloned )image of the 2nd monitor that way i can split the image, each monitor is connected to a video converter, plugged into individual usb port..

Didn't mean to suggest you were using WMP or Apple.

Just curious what the "File Association" ("Opens With") might be for the files you are downloading from ITunes.

I have the "File Association" for all my video files (VOB, MPEG4, MPEG2, DAT) set to ("Opens With") WMP.

I'm at the gig now and set up, will monitor.

I'm not familiar with that Player.

All mine open with Media Player Classic.

That player may be associated with your DJ Software.

Do you have K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) installed?

yes i have k-lite full pack..the thing is no matter what codec you used, you and i will have the same problem, if music video is extended to other monitors, all my files are mpeg4, i've tried downloading theses videos from hd to standard / lowest resolution nothing helps.i know that it will play w/o a problem on my primary monitor, and as long as i minimize the video on my extended monitor to about 3/4 and place it on the center of the monitor, i dont have any problem...try downloading the FLV player, it might work on you

I don't have the porblem that you and Chad are experiencing.

My system and setup play like it is supposed to.

I suspect your video issues and possiably Chad's are due to a player other than Media Player Classic is causing the solw to play (Chad) and sizing problem (You and Chad).

sorry i thought you were having the same kind of problem, buy anyway,i don't think it's due to the player, i've done some extensive researched on this and everything that ive read so far goes straight to the graphic/video cards problem, my case anyway...vcd plays fine no stuttering no out of sync..it's just the music video..but as long as i resized the screen mine plays fine

Graph Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M current driver 8.15.11.8644
(I know there is a newer one but it messes with Hoster so had to roll back to that driver and videos have worked in the past with this driver)

Hope that helps

The reason for this is that there are thousands of diff. combination of video cards video drivers and operating system control, however most multiple monitor configuration have drivers/system control for managing multiple screens, review your existing system controls for your graphic card driver feature"
