Windows Media Video

Hi all,

I'm currently creating a gadget that will take dynamic external video/audio streams and also make dynamic playlists video/audio from the users media library. This bit is fine but the problem I'm having is a video looks and runs (no CPU overuse) fine in the sidebar when at a resolution of say 110x60 ish. but when I try and close this and place the video in a larger flyout, even seperate page and a resolution of 400x225 I have issues with it dropping frames, refreshing only half the image and generally being totally unwatchable.

Does anyone know of any limits of using the windows media Active-x control and are there any fixes workarounds for making it more efficient etc.

TIA

James
