nvidia? theatre mode??

[MyPCAlexi]

well i decided to join the bandwagon and get a 6600gt and try to do SLI because it will whoop any x800 out there. well anyways. With Ati cards you can put your tv into theatre mode. its an overlay option for the secondary output. so whenever i play a movie it goes fullscreen on my TV but yet i can minimize it on the pc monitor and browse my email while my buddies watch anime, or collegehumor.com clips. well i cant figure out the life of me how i do that with my 6600gt. is it even possible with the nvidia cards?? HELP ME OH WISE NVIDA USERS!

yes, it is possible.

you have to enable clone mode.
then you have to exit out of the display settings, go back in, and you should see something called Full Screen Video. Set that to Secondary display.

What is weird is that after that, the only way i could get video to stay running while it was minimized on my PC was to install all the codecs from the K-Lite codec pack. Not sure which one did it but without installing it, it would freeze up on the secondary display if minimized.

hope that helps.

ah, also works with dualview modes, not just clone. I prefer dualview over clone this way i can actually make use of the secondary display when it's not being used for full screen video. Know Nuttin is correct though, you must first enable dualview or clone mode, then go back into the settings and look for the "Full-screen video" heading. Set it to either, "auto" or "secondary display", and you should be good to go.
