Default DisplayLink + ZoneScreen

Hi,

I am using an USB to HDMI Unitek y-2270 card with ZoneScreen (http://www.zoneos.com/zonescreen.htm).
Whenever I want to watch a video (tested: youtube.com / *.avi) all the screens flicker for a while and then either the video plays normally or the flickering doesn't stop and I have to kill some processes, because the CPU is 100% all the time (usually it's an UltraMon process).
I am using:
- Toshiba Tecra M4 with GeForce 6600 TE 128MB
- ZoneScreen 1.1.13.0
- Windows XP SP3 Tablet Edition
Here is a video (I hope the problem is visible - it was my first ever video recorded):
http://screwattack.com/videos/Displa...ange-behaviour
(there is also a second one).
Here is my screen configuration:

//edit: oh, and the problem occurs only when one or more of the ZoneScreens are active.

Regards

I think you're maxing out the CPU on this system. You have 4 virtual displays connected and each display will need CPU to encode the video changes in real-time and send them to the device. This is on a 2.2Gig M processor that is not that powerful.

DisplayLink supports 1 full screen video on a USB display at a time. For this to work, you need to have less displays or a more powerful PC. This current spec isn't going to do what you want.
