I think that music move masses. Good music and lyrics are the elixir of life.

Another solution which has always worked for me. I open the video in Internet Explorer (8.0) on one screen, and maximise that one. In the mean time I use another browser on another screen (Firefox or Chrome), and can do whatever I want. As you long as you use different browsers for the video and the other browsing, it doesn’t seem to bother Flash.

Hi,
I use dual monitor to watch videos and work with browser and other things at the same time.
I can maintain full-screen mode activated when watching flash videos (like youtube, megavideo, etc…) and use other applications in this way:
1- start video in fullscreen;
2- press and hold alt-tab, then click on another window.

I use last Chrome and Flash versions on my Win7 64 bit laptop. When watching video and surfing the Net, I open two Chrome windows, one in main screen for surfing and another for video playback, it works.

Actually video can stay on fullscreen mode activated even on one display in the same way: the adobe flash player showing fullscreen video will not close.

I apologize for any mistake I made in my English, but I’m not native language.

more testing and clarification….

3) If I first start the video playing, then I can do anything on main display without loosing full screen on secondary display, but once I stop the video, then I loose that ability.

RE: dual monitors and full screen : Ive done alot of testing…without modifying any code anywhere…using MAC pro w/cinema display(main display) and Samsung(secondary) with Leopard OS…
1) Chrome on secondary display , full screen, make sure video is playing (it seems video has to be PLAYING).
2) Use main display for anything but dont use Chrome.

We have a Mac mini 1.83, model #:A1176. I can also use a PC

Can we connect 2 vertical Plasma TVs? Each TV is at 1080×1920 (vertical)

We want to have a QuickTime movie play across monitors. We are not sure if we can do this with QuickTime. Perhaps you can advice on this matter

Regards
