Dual Monitors

[Ralph]

I am running 2 monitors, each off a seperate video card. Can I watch a video
on both screens? Not one long one, but duplicates?

Depends on the Video cards, the codecs, the amount of memory you have, how
much processing power you have, where you are playing the videos from, how
fast that particular drive is, the interface the drive(s) are on, what
player (software) you are using, etc..

In some cases, you start playing a video and just try to drag the screen
onto another screen and the sound keeps going, but the picture will turn
black as the window is moved to the other screen...

In the case you are talking about, i would think you would not be able to do
it because it would take a machine with some horsepower, the right video
player, etc..

you should be able to set the monitors to duplicate the output on both
cards!

Sorry Ralph.. I may have misunderstood your needs.

If you want to play the SAME movie twice - you may be able to do that, but
it will again depend on your video cards(drivers and such) and the player
you are using to play it.
