Video playing software - multi display

[tomed101]

I am looking for software to basically cue up videos on a computer with a dual head graphics card, and play them on the secondary display. I have been using programs designed for a single display but the problem with them is they place the control buttons over the video, usually at the bottom that dissapear after a few seconds. So basically I want to be able to control the video from display and have it play on another.

Thanks
Tom

Though I have not done it, I believe that using the "presenter display" in powerpoint 2007 you should be able to do that. Another great option is using media shout, it handles video pretty well and is meant for use on dual display computers.

ArKaos is pretty pricey, but it will most likely do what you want.

The midi version is cheaper.

If you want to pay, use MediaShout - easily the best out of a number which I have tried. Freepath is another option but I found that to be so easy to use that it was mind-dumbing.

If you're a church and want free, try ZionWorks.

Paid-for church software could include EasyWorship.

Hope that helps!

We used a licensed version of Easy Worship for our worship services - one of the best pay-for pieces of presentation software out there for that sort of thing.

It lets you get snippets from DVDs, imports powerpoints, plays normal videos and does song lyrics and scriptures. Definitely focused on a worship type environment though. The dual display is the key functionality of it, and is what made my job managing multimedia so much easier.

I checked out the Freepath site but although there's an FAQ for existing issues, they say you have to register and wait for the new free version! ???

Don't say I do nothing around here!
I have updated the old Freepath installer onto my web hosting.

QLab can do this - the Pro Video Cue is $149, but you can try it for free.
