Just wondering if it is possible to play a movie full screen spanning multiple monitors. If it is, using what application?

Yeah mine spans to a point
but after it covers more then half of both screens it just defaults to fully running on the one.

Same with my PCTV app, on the secondary adapter it runs fine but once you make it cover more then half the second monitor, by by picture.

hrmm thats with a Radeon9000 128mb DDR anyways.

I just got my 2nd monitor today so I'm charting unfamiliar waters, so can someone tell me why video (divx) won't show up on the 2nd display? I've tried turning down the hardware accellerator, but that didn't work.

shut up 'a ronin'. i know u just got your 2nd monitor... but u should know how to use a discussion forum by now! Stick to the topic.

I havn't had any video large enough to span across my monitors, however with my webcam i can actually stretch the video across ALL 4 (horizontal row, not cube formation) of my monitors. It looks soooo crappy on account of the resolution on my cam is only 640x 480 and i have a combined desktop area of 4096 x 768. Anyways, I hope that helped.

As far as WMP9 goes. I can get the program window to stretch across all of my montors, but not the actual video. Only if the video resolution is like... really really long could I get it to stretch.

'a ronin' i am so upset about u posting a question about divx under this topic that i am going to pass out all over my desk. gah.

try videosaver, i used it as a workaround cause i din´t figured out how to get the overlay thing working...

i´m not sure if this is the best way to solve the problem, but it´ll work 4 sure...
