two videos on two monitors at the same time

Postby guybr » 15 Jun 2007 17:48

Hi,
i have windows xp, and two monitors with a nvidia graphic card. I set up the dual-view option.
I would like to open two fullscreen videos, at the same time, from the command line..

is it possible?

You can use TVTool to enable more options than your graphics card may. This makes the same video on a monitor and TV possible.

I've not been able to play two different videos, on different monitors.

If that is what you do on the command line, it will play the first avi file, exit and then play the second. If you want them both at the same time, you should use
start vlc --fullscreen blablabla
start vlc --fullscreen blablabla

Don't know if that is the issue you are dealing with though...
