Dual monitor : One fullscreen & one preview and controls

Postby flvlef » 03 Dec 2012 15:18

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to do something I thought simple to do (before testing today :D )

I've a laptop PC with video output (eigher HDMI or VGA) running Windows 7 64bits
I use Direct X output module

What I want to do : Play a full screen video on Monitor #2 and keep a small video resolution, time information (like reamaning time) and control buttons on Monitor #1

I've tested various ways to do that but each time something is wrong:

- Use Clone Filter (x2) and enabling Fullscreen on Video settings : 2 Windows but on the same screen and impossible to move with the mouse
- Use Clone Filter (x2) and disabling Fullscreen on Video settings : 2 Windows but on the same screen which I can move but impossible to put it in fullsreen mode

Note : My video driver do not allow a "play all video in fullsreen mode on the second monitor" mode as some people can have sometime.

Thank you very much for your help

I am looking to do the same thing as the original poster. Any luck on this front?

You should be able to disable embedding video in the interface and force the fullscreen device.
