Video Quality Comparison

[wee haggis]

Does any one know of any software that will allow 2 different video files to be run simutaneously next to each other on the same screen(ie:2 seperate screens showing the same movie with different settings to compare quality of samples)?
Thanks

you can set windows media player (version 6, not sure about higher version) to open simultaneous files, give that a go.

I have 7.1 and I can't see any option to do that.
Do you where I can still get the older 6.4(its not in the Microsoft site...except for win95 and nt)?I have 98
If I were to get 6.4 is it easy to figure out how to do it?

if youve got win 98 youve got mplayer2 built in which allows multiple windows, youve got to change your opening option on folder options my computer/tools/folder options/file types..... ive defaulted this player as it loads quicker than the later ones
