Video overlay on second monitor under WIndows 7?
« on: April 05, 2010, 06:58 PM »
Hi
I tend to think that it was possible to play video on the second monitor when I played video , which was set unde Nvidia panel. So whenever a video was played on the main monitor the video would show up on the second one. I am using the extend method.

For some reason I cannot find a way to do that under Windows7 Nvidia panel. Does anyone know what happened to that feature? any other solution out there?

Also it looks like Nvidia removed Nview from WIndows7 drivers :(

I watch video on my second monitor all the time. Though I tend to use Media Player Classic HC and manually drag the program to the second monitor.

Is that similar to what you mean? I'm not really familiar with the Nvidia tools (though my graphic card is Nvidia).

No I do not mean manual. There was a way to setup automatically to play videos on a second monitor or another external viewing device

Ok sorry, not sure myself.
