    Hi Vidya

    I have two projects in mind. 

    First based on a photobook I made.  Basically I want to show two slide shows on two monitors side by side, synchronised.  I want to work on the two at the same time so that I can develop interesting relationships between the images and have variable time overlap between the images.  Rather like in a photobook, then I would also want some images to spread over both screens.

    For the second project I have been taking some long slow single position movie shots in the landscape.  Such as a shadow moving across a building, or trees in the wind.  I want to make two sequences of these shots to be displayed side by side.  Again so that the viewer can look between the two screen and (hopefully) see interesting relationships over time.

    I am interested in the option of displaying on two TV monitors and also using two projectors.  Both at full HD.  Ideally the method I used could be extended to three or more screens once I get familiar with it.  This is likely to form part of my final show for Master of Fine Art degree in August

    Thank you in anticipation for your reply

    Best wishes

    Jim

    can't quite get the display right using either quick time or windows film player.

    Those are the two worst players out there.  Try one of these instead.

    Global Potplayer

    VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!


    Hi Jim

    That's really helpful thank you.   I have installed both.  The VideoLAN is a nice player, but does allow full screen over two monitors as far as I can tell.  The Potplayer has many options and does allow this.  Works pretty well.  My set up at home is sub-optimal as I have a main monitor at 1920x1080 and a second monitor at 1650x1050 (it was surplus to requirements on another PC).  But it looks like the Potplayer will work really well in a proper set up with two equal screens.
