Video playing software - multi display

[NickJones]

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.

Easyworship is OK, not too good on the video side though, I have been using it for the past to years and I am starting to change over to power presenter. media shout is better, and if you have a Mac, try power-presenter. Its really good, we are using it for our presentation night, hope this helps.

Ps, use a desktop pc, not a laptop, if it has a dedicated video card, it is less likely to stuff up. Trust me, I have had both backup laptops die, not good.

You may also look at Cue Player Premium Plus. http://www.cueplayer.com It requires a second video card and can also slave drive a second computer/projector.
