Applications in full screen with two monitors

Sorry if there is one grammatical error, do not write in English, and I'm using google translator.
The function of the Lion full screen is very good, but I have aserious problem. It turns out that I use my macbook for keynotes, in the role of "Extended Desktop" is often used in DVD videos. Butthe DVD player no native Lion gives the option to show what the monitor that I want to make it full screen. The result is that the videois always on the screen of the Macbook, not the projector. I always liked the DVD player's native mac, but I'm using an older version ofVLC to be able to play DVD on my keynotes in function "Extended Desktop". I found no configuration that gives the option to show which monitor the application must be in full screen.
Is there anything we can do about it?

That's annoying, isn't it?
It's why I quit using iTunes in full screen.
I play my movies in VLC and "maximize" the window so I can keep working on the other display. I don't knwo of any other way aorund it.

  • Playing movie full-screen across two monitors?

    I have a PC with a pair of 800x600 monitors side-by-side for a dual-monitor desktop. I want to play a very wide (1600x600) QuickTime movie fullscreen across them both (not simply mirrored), with no window border or Windows taskbar visible. But when I click the zoom box for the movie window, it resizes the window to one display, so that it doesn't touch the other display at all.
    I'm not currently using QuickTime Pro; will paying for that upgrade allow me to play a movie "Full Screen" across two screens, or will that still limit the movie to one screen?
    Is there any other way for me to play the movie across two displays? (Again, not mirrored - the movie is wide enough to fit both displays.) Is there some other QuickTime movie player that'll do this for me?
    (The movie is a pair of eyes looking back and forth. It's for a Halloween display, one monitor per eye.)

    I had an older version of VLC and it did not work but I tried the beta version of 0.8.4test1a and it plays everything from h.264,mpeg4,mpeg2,avi,vob,wmv and a few more. The only other things I know I have done is that I have the pro version of quicktime 7.0.3 and I have a codec pack from ColeMedia Codec Pack from http://www.cole2k.net/ other than that I don't know what else I did that made it work.

  • Full screen with dual monitors

    I have two monitors hooked up to my Mac mini.  Both displays are working in non-mirroring.  I want to be able to put something in "full screen" on one monitor but I still want to be able to do something via the other monitor.  Currently if I set a movie playing on I-Tunes to full screen, the other monitor will go dark.
    How can I get the set-up to how I want it?

  • ITunes Full Screen with Dual Monitor Setup?

    This seems like a poor design choice but I can't figure out any way to turn it off. Seems stupid if you can't...
    If you have two monitors plugged in and try to watch a movie in itunes (or the visualizer) in fullscreen, it will go full screen on one monitor fine, but it also makes the other one go black and unusable.
    Does anyone know a way to make iTunes go full screen in only one monitor without pointlessly rendering my second monitor useless? It would be nice to be able to browse the web or do work on one monitor while having the iTunes visualizer (or watch a TV show) on the other monitor. Quicktime pro does this without any issues.
    Thanks.

    For your wallpaper drag the window to cover it.
    What I mean is that I don't see how you can do what you want, cause when you watch someting full screen you usually don't want to see your wallpaper on your second screen. And that if you want to work on your second screen you won't mind not having it full screen.
    QT pro will allow what you want cause it assume that you are working on your movie.

  • Video full screen with two displays?

    I do presentations with my MB Air (currently still on Lion)
    I connect the MB Air to a projector via the mini display socket.
    In Sys Prefs/Displays I have MIrror switched off so that the projector screen shows an extended desktop.
    One display (MB Air) is the system display with Finder menu bar.
    My problem is that if I play a video (MP4 using Quicktime player) and select full screen
    the video shows full screen on the system display only - the other display is black
    What I would like is for the video to show full screen on the second display (projector screen) not the system display (MB Air)
    I would like this so that the audience does not see my desktop and me opening files and folders
    but only sees the video I am playing full screen on the projector screen.
    Is this possible?
    many thanks
    Pete

    I actually just found an option under quicktime preferences to keep fullscreen when player is inactive, and that fixed my problem. Thanks anyway though!

  • Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.

    Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
    I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
    No problem before I went to Maverick.

    I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

  • Odd... went to get cuppa coffee, came back my monitor was BRIGHT orange, full screen,, with slight vertical rib pattern, kind of like corrugated cardboard... very slight pattern... what gives.... oh,, everything was frozen, no cursor no keyboard, zip.

    Odd... went to get cuppa coffee, came back my monitor was BRIGHT orange, full screen,, with slight vertical rib pattern, kind of like corrugated cardboard... very slight pattern... what gives.... oh, everything was frozen, no cursor no keyboard, zip. Used back off button. Turned it back on, everything normal...
    Had lots of sudden closures like this lately... but usually gray, black, deep blue screen... a couple with the same vertical corrugation pattern only in two shades of pale gold, or grays... what good times we have with apple... never know what'going to be looking back at you next. But BRIGHT ORANGE? Help???

    Sounds like the graphics card. Run the Hardware Test in extended. Not a great diagnostic, but should pick up something really blatant like this.

  • How can one use Mission Control with two monitors?  Please bring Spaces back

    How can one use Mission Control with two monitors.  With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
    SyBB

    I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
    Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

  • How can I run applications in full screen on my MacBook Pro?

    I recently started using an external HP w1858 monitor as a secondary display with my MacBook Pro. I'm having troubles with running applications in full screen mode on the secondary display. How can I run applications in full screen mode on the secondary monitor?

    If you always have the external display connected, you can configure the OS to consider it as the default or main display. Once everything is connected and set to your liking (resolution, color depth, etc.), "bless" the external display by clicking & dragging the menubar from the Mac's internal display onto the external. This only works if you are not using video mirroring.
    Once this is done, applications will open by default on the external and now "main" display and you can configure them to go fullscreen or whatever.

  • How to keep Flash in Full Screen on Dual Monitors

    Hi,
    I have a simple question. What should I do, to make my application (written in Flex SDK 4.5.1) staying in Full screen when I work in 2nd monitor - like Youtube and Euronews player (http://www.euronews.com/news/streaming-live/) ?
    I don't know, how should I embed my application correct or add something to source code to make it work? My application is working correct in Full screen mode, I can use keyboard etc. but I'm not able to make this working - it's always going back to normal when it loose focus.
    I have read many topics on this forum and internet, so I'm not interested in solutions like: http://flash-full-screen-multiple-monitor.clangen.com/en/ or .dll tricks like http://lifehacker.com/5419028/keep-flash-videos-in-full-screen-on-dual-monitors
    If Youtube and Euronews is working with normal Flash (my current 11.9.900.117) there must be a way?
    If someone can type code examples (like for a total dummy ), it will be great.
    Thank you.

    You'd want to ask in the Flex forum or Flash Professional forum, since you CANNOT edit ANY Flash content with Flash Player.

    Hi Balaji,
    So if you have an extended desktop across two monitors then I would say you had two options.
    1. Within one VI you could simple design the front panel in such a way that it extends across both screens with the relevant information in the right screen.  The fact that there are two monitors present is transparent to the applications.
    2. With two VIs there is a property for front panels to choose which monitor they are displayed on.  This is available by wiring a VI reference to a property node and selecting front panel window >> monitor.  You then enter an id for the monitor you want it to be displayed on, this is a numeric e.g. your primary monitor will be zero. You can see the property node help page here. 
    I hope this is the information you are after.

  • Users with two monitors

    Hi:
    I have an application using either JInitiator 1.3.x or Sun Java Plug-In 1.4.2.x which works fine.
    But I have several users with two monitors and if the user move the application to the secondary monitor the menu didn't work (using JInitiator or Sun JPI).
    We are trying to move our iAS configuration to use only Sun JPI.
    Is any solution for that behavior of the application when I have two monitors.

    Has anyone tried to apply this patch to a middle-tier installation of just Forms and Reports Services, rather than a full Oracle AS installation? Do you know if this patch can be used in this way? The Readme is full of info about things like OID and Metadata Repositories which don't really apply to us.
    I'm also worried (and unclear) about what databases are supported by this patch - in one place it says the minimum db version for patch 10.1.2.2 is DB 10g, whereas elsewhere it talks about only needing DB 9.2.0.7. (Neither of which is good for us, we're still on 9.2.0.6.) But then, for an install of just Forms and Reports Services, maybe I won't need to apply the database part of the patch..?
    I'd be intererested if anyone else has patched a pure Forms and Reports install...

  • Toggle Full Screen with lingo?

    Hi there,
    I have just got a Mac mini 10.6.2 and I'm testing exporting mac projectors from Dir11.5 on XP.
    What I'd like to achieve is to swap between two states whilst playing the projector.
    State 1: Small draggable Windowed state with title bar and Mac Dock / desktop visible.
    State 2: Pure 800x600 Full Screen with No Dock or title bar visible.
    I am using BuddyAPI successfully to switch monitor screen modes to 800x600 and back again to native res.
    My problem is, if I want to hide the dock and title bar, I seem to have to publish with the "Full Screen" checkbox ticked in the publish settings. This means when I switch back to native res windowed mode there is the solid movie background colour hiding the mac desktop and dock (as you'd expect).
    Is there a way to turn full screen (black out the desktop and dock) on and off during runtime with lingo?
    I know its a long shot, but though I'd check with the pros before assuming it's not possible.
    Cheers
    Richard Smith

    My understanding is that Flash will not allow you to do that.
    Full screen mode is invoked only if explicitly requested from
    within the flash on mouse events.

  • Full Screen Problem - Dual Monitors - Hulu Desktop

    I am using Hulu Desktop with dual monitors. I keep Hulu on full screen on monitor #2. I use monitor #1 for computer use, etc.
    It is IMPOSSIBLE to look at an app in full screen mode on monitor #1 and keep my Hulu full screen in monitor #2 at the same time. So if Hulu is playing and I open up a full screen Mail.app...the hulu screen (mon. 2) just shows that grey background.
    Apple NEEDS to add a way to make the #2 monitor immune to the spaces functionality. That or make a way so that an app can stay on top of ALL SCREENS not just user-created ones.
    I have seen people suggest the, "Right click the app in the dock and choose all screens" but that ONLY works for user-created desktops. It won't make the app be full screen over Mail, iCal, Address book, etc when they make their own spaces window.
    Help! :-)\

    That's annoying, isn't it?
    It's why I quit using iTunes in full screen.
    I play my movies in VLC and "maximize" the window so I can keep working on the other display. I don't knwo of any other way aorund it.

  • CS4 with two monitors

    I am using 2 monitors with CS4. One monitor is a "tools" monitor, and the other is a color calibrated monitor for retouching my images full screen, with no palettes interfering. When I open an image, it always opens behind my tool palettes on the tools monitor. This is a major pain! I've saved a custom workspace to no avail. On CS3, whenever I opened a new document, it opened onto my retouch monitor... every time!
    Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

    Known issue.  The workaround is to designate the other monitor as your Main monitor in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.
    Your menu bar will move to your Main monitor and your Ps dcuments will open there too.
    No fixes or changes by Adobe are expected for now, we've been told.
