[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7131"] One afternoon to tried a dual headed MP config and I gave up after a fashion. My config was simple, I have an ATI 9200 w/ DVI and S-Video out. The DVI was connected to my 17" TFT and the S-Video was connected to my Sony TV. My intent was to run the MP OSD on the TFT and have all video (DVD, TV, etc.) output sent to the TV. The reason I thought this work is I set up a dual head system at Halloween to DJ a party. I ran Winamp with the actual player wndows on a 15" TFT and had the "milkdrop" visualization sent to a 19" TFT. It worked really well. I got a lot of compliments from my fellow geeks. At the time I tried this with MP I admit I hadn't really thought it through and I understand now why it doesn't work. But it would be REALLY cool if it would. It would be nice to see the OSD on one "head" and the video (DVD, etc.) output on another "head." Further, if your viewing something in the preview window, hit a hotkey and boom, it's on the big screen (other head.) Now that would be beyond cool. Now I realize I am probably a little atypical in this configuration so I am not holding my breath that this will be sought after feature for some time. There are much more important things to do near term. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
