Is it possible to mirror a full screen video on one workspace while using another?

I have Mountain Lion and mirroring capability to my Apple TV but is there a 3rd party utility out there that anyone knows of that enables me to still use my computer while mirroring a full screen video. I've tried running a video on one workspace and when I swiped over to my other workspace of course it mirrored it. I get it, that's how it works but how much better would it be if it could selectively mirror a workspace? Anyone seen a workaround/utility that allows this?

Now that I think about it, I do have another issue that baffles me. When I'm on any given web-page, and I right click to send (e-mail) the link, nothing happens. Could this have something to do with the FF version I'm using? (3.6.16) I say this because, in the past, this wasn't a problem. FYI... I already opened Tools-Options-Applications Tab, scrolled down to MAILTO, and tried switching to both of my e-mail clients. Still... Nothing at all. Any ideas?

Full screen video on TV via mini DV to TV adapter

Hello guys,
I am trying to configure my iMac with TV to be able to watch some movies, but I am stuck as I cannot find the option that allows to do it.
Here is what I want to do:
- I want my family watch a movie stored on my Mac's hard drive.
- I want to use my Mac for regular tasks (surfing the web, working on projects etc.)
- I want to do both tasks at the same time.
Two years ago I had PC and I was able to do what I described above using Dual View option with full screen view on TV when I use any of media players. Here, on my Mac, I've got the option which seems to work as only the extension of my display or in Mirroring mode. Does anybody have any experience? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Turn off mirroring in the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" System Preference. If you are using DVD player, set it not to open in full screen mode. Start playing, drag the window to the second display, then enter full screen mode. If you are using QuickTime Player, use "Present Movie" ("View" menu) to select the screen. For VLC, select the screen using "Video Device" ("Video" menu", then enter full screen mode.

Run full screen video with GarageBand

Good evening.
I have a question about using GaraBand with full screen video.
I'm creating a movie using Final Cut Pro (which's new for me) and creating a music track in Garageband.
I will like to have GarageBand to play the music in one track, using an interface I will send a click to the drumer but also ( and this is part of my question), I need to have GaraBand to play the sync movie I created, on a video beam running in full screen.
The goal is to manage the application in my laptop but the people should not see the application or anything on my desktop, they should be able to see just the video after I hit play.
So, is there a way to have GarageBand to send a clik to the drummer mintor, play the sound track and do split monitor on a video beam that should show just the full screen movie and not my desktop?
I will really appreciate any suggestion about this.
Note: I have Logic Pro 8 too, in case logic supports it.

Thank you for taking a look into this question Chris.
This is the very first time I'm trying to do this type of presentations and I'm not sure if there is a way or another application to run a music track with a click only for monitoring of the drummer (which GB does) and at the same time run the video which was edited to by synchronized with the audio the musicians will play.
I can see the the movie preview window and make it larger, the problem is that it will not pay in full screen move on a video beam.
I'm starting to feel that with GB it is not possible.

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 Vista 32bit video driver (NVidia) full screen video problem

Hi, would appreciate an update from Lenovo about this.
The NVidia VGA driver just displays a blank screen when playing video in full screen mode when hardware acceleration is turned on (the default setting). Obviously it's a pain to turn off the hardware acceleration just to get full screen video working.
There is a generic version of the driver available from Nvidia but they advise not to use it as the oem versions are apparently modified for features like turning the screen off when the lid is closed. Maybe someone's tried the generic NVidia driver and can let me know if it's worth a go. Ideally it would be nice to hear if Lenovo are aware of the problem and are going to release an update.
Thanks
Cliff

im not sure if this will help new to forum but hey here u go anyways scan through the guide about the suipport & downloads should have all ur info there

Mini-DVI to DVI - 1920x1080 full-screen video

Just bought a mini-DVI to DVI adapter to hook up my Mid-2006 MacBook to my Acer H223H 23" LCD screen. It works fabulously as expected, except when I try to watch full-screen video on the Acer LCD at 1920x1080. What's strange is that when I'm watching video in a window (using VLC), I can increase the size of the window until it almost takes up the whole screen, but then any further than that causes noticeable jerkiness (a lot of dropped frames) in the video playback. Any ideas what's going on here?
I hope this is the right forum for this and thanks in advance for helping me out!

Posted too soon before fully exploring the situation. A little more context: I'm running a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
I used the mini-DVI to DVI adapter and my LCD to hook up my girlfriend's laptop (MacBook running Leopard). Full screen video in VLC plays no problem (even used the same file). Also, I tried playing a DVD on my MacBook and it ran flawlessly. Clearly the issue is VLC's compatibility with Snow Leopard.
Thanks anyway - glad to know this community is here if I have any other issues.

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

Full screen issue when utilizing Ease of Use on screen keyboard and RDP in Win8.1

Hello,
I am exploring using touch technology with our point of sale application which is delivered to our clients using RDP. The default touch keyboard in Win8 is basically useless for our application so we enabled the touch keyboard under Ease of Use (EoU)
which does meet our requirements. We enabled the KB in docked mode so it is always displayed and locked to the bottom of the display. The issue is that when we start an RDP session in full screen mode, the RDP session is using the whole screen
and slipping under the docked EoU KB. Is there a means to have RDP recognize the reduced screen size with the EoU KB docked and only use the available screen real estate? I understand that I can configure the RDP settings manually and approximate
what I'm looking for but this drops the session into a window which is somethibg I'm looking to avoid.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for post in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research, I can say that you need to set the RDP screen size manually. So after setting the size of Full screen RDP you can able to use. You can also try to switch the application in Remote Desktop connection by “Ctrl+Alt+Break”. Please check
the shortcut to be used when using RDC.

My MacBook is brand new, shy of a month and I don't understand why it was recently started to lag whilst watching full screen videos on youtube? Somebody help me please...

Somebody help.. I don't get what's going on. This didn't happen in the beginning, it was completely fine with watching full screen videos, but now it seems to "glitch" now and then and appear slow and laggy. whattttt

If the computer seems normal except for watching youtube the problem is probably between you and your ISP or between the ISP and youtube. If your computer seems slow no matter what you are doing try restarting your computer and see if that helps. (If so pay attention to your Page Outs in the Activity Monitor and also how much free space your hard drive has.)

MacBook Pro Retina 13" fan very loud/overheats when playing full screen video/games

Hi,
Just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina, refurbished (because why not - the same product for a cheaper price) around a month ago. It's the 13 inch and is the model before the most recent one came out (4GB of RAM instead of 8GB - late 2013). From the very first day, playing a full-screen video on any site (be it YouTube, Facebook, etc) just makes the fan much louder than usual (so loud that you can almost hear it more over the video itself). Thought it may have been just a thing with Flash Player being buggy, but the problem has persisted for a while now. I'm not even pushing the CPU to any limits - literally playing a full-screen video on Facebook (not even in HD) makes the fan go crazy.
Just last night I tried installing Borderlands 2 and it was the same thing - FPS rate was fine, no lag, just the fan was so loud that I actually got scared for my computer and turned it off. After closing the app and checking out the fan temperature, it was at 91c.
Never happens when browsing/surfing or doing my usual work.
Should I go give it back to Apple? The thing is I start university in less than a week (and hence will be traveling), so not sure if I can afford to give my laptop in to them for a long period of time (I know it should be free though since mine is a refurb item). May it just be an issue that is quickly repairable or is this worse?

During processor intensive activities—such as processing HD video or playing a game that makes extensive use of the graphics processor—the fans speed up to provide additional airflow.

Full Screen Videos in iTunes Don't Work in Leopard

Hi,
I've upgraded my MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard and I do have a registered Quicktime Pro 7 license. The QuickTime tab shows me that it's a Pro version. However, if I am trying to play full screen videos in iTunes I just see the mini video in the screen center. Any idea how I can fix this?

I have recently relocated to Australia & have since updated my itunes account with an Australain address.
The issue is your credit or debit card. They must be associated with the same country in which you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching your billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations."

Bug? Menu Bar Not Accessible in Safari After Watching Full Screen Video

Hi everyone,
I have had this Not accessible menu bar problem time to time while using Safari, and I finally figured out what caused it. It always happens right after you go to a full screen video mode, and then get back out, and now when you move the mouse curser to the top, menu bar doesn't show. Then a way to fix is by using the 4 finger gesture to go back to the desktop screen, and come back to safari (not too fast) and menu bar is again accessible. Why is apple not fixing this bugs? I have seen more thread about menu bar gone, so it's not just me.

Hit the escape key to exit full screen.
That may be a "works as expected/designed," but once you've exited Full Screen View, then reenter Full Screen View and play a video in full screen mode, the window switches out of Full Screen to display the video in full screen video mode. It doesn't stay in Full Screen view, like it is the first time around.
EDIT:
Esc exits full screen video mode, but you still cannot access the slide-out menu bar with the button. Repeatedly pressing Esc does not exit Full Screen View, either. This only appears on the first invocation of Full Screen view and video mode. Once you exit Full Screen, the window behaves differently.
Note that we have determined this is only affected by HTML5 video. I have to do some more testing to figure out if it is ClickToPlugin that is causing the issue.
What's a good source for straight HTML5 video?

Slow graphics performance - login screen, launchpad, full screen video all stutter

Since installing Mavericks, I've found that several system animations are slow/stutter. This is on a 2012 MacBook Air with maxed out hardware specs so its not b/c I'm running an old system.
Some examples:
- When booting up, right before I reach the login screen, the display quickly flashes blue. This leads me to believe something funky is going on with my graphics card/drivers
- The login animation, where you click your username and it floats to the middle of the screen so you can type in your password, is very jerky, taking 2+ seconds to complete. Previously it had been fast and smooth
- When using Launchpad, expanding folders often takes several seconds. The folder will start to expand, freeze, and then finally finish. This tends to be more of a problem for folders with 1 row of icons. Large folders oddly seem to expand ok / smoothly
- Watching full screen video in iTunes causes the audio to stutter (the video playback is still smooth). If I make the window smaller, audio and video playback are smooth again
Is anyone else experiencing these kinds of graphics issues? Any idea whats going on or how to fix?

Quit Chrome and see whether there's any change. If not, see below.
Step 1
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, andIdle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

970 4G FPS drop for second screen when playing full screen video

Hi,
I have two 1440p monitors connected to my graphcis card using DVI connectors.
Whenever I play a full screen video on the secondary screen, I was always get an FPS drop. It doesn't matter if I switch the cables around to make the other one the secondary screen.
I have tried replacing the monitors and the same thing happens and I can only conclude it must be the graphics card.
Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this problem?

Quote from: krash.raj on 31-May-15, 20:04:19
1) I'm not familiar with this concept. Why would switching port type provide more bandwidth?
2) Also, the card I'm referencing only has 1 display port connection. Would using one dvi and one display port cable work?
1) Google for "dvi", "hdmi" & "displayport" and you'll find out why.
2) use DisplayPort + dual-link DVI (always suggested by Nvidia)
