Fullscreen video playback on secondry screen
sebbelcher 6/7/2007 10:51:01 AM
Hello,

Before upgrading to Vista my Nvidia display drivers allowed me to control
and display video windowed on the primary screen whilst having the video
output displayed full-screen on a secondary screen. The feature was called
"overlay mirroring" or some such, and has been a feature of the Nvidia driver
for as long as I can remember, even my 5 year old notebook with a GeForce2
can do it (under XP).
I used to use this every week whilst working in my campus nightclub to mix
videos into my sets, allowing me to control the video on my primary screen,
and having it played-back fullscreen on a projector.

Since installing Vista this feature has dissapeared, Nvidia claim that had
to remove the functionality from the driver because of some kind of piracy
protection system embeded in Vista. This sounds like an excuse to me, since
ATI Vista drivers still have this functionality.

Can someone shed some light on this issue? Is there integral code in Vista
that prevents this? Or are NVidia making excuses for slow and poor Vista
driver support?

Seb.
