Dual Screen HDMI VLC freezes in second screen

[Ins4neN1ghtmare]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get my VLC player to play in full screen on my TV screen via HDMI cable from my laptop while playing a game in full screen also off the laptops screen. When I load up the game however, the VLC player video freezes yet continues to play as the audio continues. Is there anyone I can combat this situation?
