AVS on secondary monitor

I'm running 2 monitors on my computer, and I want to know if there is a way to make AVS go fullscreen on my secondary monitor.

no, there's not sorry. This questions been asked several times before, so you should have searched the forums before hand. There are some strange answeres like
"enable theater mode on your videocard" and such but there's no simple way to do it, sorry...

you should be able to get a monitor-screen splitter between 2? or try using some plugins or a video on another computer? using the AVS Video Capture?

What happens when you try to make it go fullscreen? Does it do it on the primary monitor?

There should be programs that can switch the primary monitor, so if the above is true, you can just make it go fullscreen then switch monitor.

play with overlay !

Just use windowed mode with overlay and set desktop color then adjust your graphic card settings to send overlay to 2nd screen (very easy to do with nvidia card, just play with detonator driver settings).
So u keep avs editor on your first monitor (vga?) and a have a full screen render on second monitor(tv/projector?).

I do this at parties since years and it work pretty well.

And it's even simpler if you have a dual vga head or 2 video cards into your comp. Just set primary display (in windows xp display settings) to the screen where you want the overlay.
Move icons & task bar from the overlay screen to the other.
Don't forget to use 24/32bits display mode for the overlay to work correctly (without ugly black dots).

Is this MF flaming spreading to every possible thread now?
For all our sakes, please don't ask for it yourself... (@MF, PAK-9 and who else fits the shoe)

"unfortunately" i have to add...

However, we're not far away from pak's objective. Everywhere you look you can find flame posts being aimed at that particular target next to artistic stuff digesting this topic.

Maybe if people made INTERSTING posts we wouldnt have to resort to flames...

in the mean time toast and I will just derail every thread
