OK, I found the "problem" its going back to the old transparency bug in Win2k. Basically, if the pixel at (0, 0) coordinates [top left corner] has a transparency parameter enabled, even if that parameter holds 100% opaqueness, some video players will not show video.
What surprised me is that this pixel can also be under another window, and still obstruct the ability of video players. I was pretty confident that the bug would not apply if the pixel is covered by a window w/o any transparency settings. Maybe this is just my computer being strange...
Well, case closed for now. There were older threads about this too: http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=4&action=view&catId=1&id=1749&hl=video [I wonder if this link will work] :)
