Afternoon all

Im sure this has been asked to death, so here it is again :D

Ive got an ATI9500 128 mb pro with 2 monitors plugged into it. Running video on the primary is great...until you drag it to the secondary. Funny to watch when you have a 50/50 split. Ive used all the new software that ATI provides and i think ive used every setting i can think of.

Any suggestions?

So what is the problem exactly?

I don't think ATI supports video overlay on the second monitor, but don't quote me on it. What app are you playing the videos with?

I've played streaming videos on both monitors with my NVidia card, but that might be different than what you want to do.

Im confused on what exactly you want to do, watch a DVD split between two monitors? or be able to watch a DVD on either the Primary OR the secondary monitor. but not both at the same time.

I have an issue with playing video clips, and I can explain it all...

My Specs
GeForce4 MMX 440 - dual VGA output
ASUS A7N8X MoBo
AMD XP 2800+
Dual 17" Realsync LCD
2x 80Gb SATA
1Gb RAM PC3200

My issue is that when I play a video clip in either Windows Media Plaer 9 or Real Player (latest version, non-free player), the player is open on one LCD, and the same clip is shown full screen on the other. I do not know how to disable this, so that the video clip only plays in the respective player.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've got a GeForce4 4200 Go Dell Mobile. I't must be an Nvidia thing.

You'll need to disable video mirroring, see the FAQ for more on this.
