ATI card too?

An ATI card is driving the primary Windows monitor (the one with the taskbar). An nVidia card is driving the display that I experience the issues on.

I'm having the same problem as the op. Running VLC on a display that is connected to a different video card from my primary display causes dwm.exe memory spikes. The size of the spikes increase based on the size of the VLC window. Full screen causes spikes over 1GB and causes Aero to disable itself....
