you could always do a 'dmesg | tail' after you start both monitors, and
after starting playing the video, to see if there's any messages there.
If I'm not mistaken, dmesg displays messages from all the system logs,
so that should get you any pertinent output.

If you like GUIS for this sort of thing, you could just open the 'Log
File Viewer' (System > Administration > Log File Viewer) then watch
which logs turn bold as you do your tests (the bold-ed logs are the ones
that changed) then scroll down to the bottom of the log to see what
changed.

Hope that helps!
