dual monitor display issue with VLC

[jmahoney]

I have a dual monitor display when moving vlc player to the other display and double clicking for full screen it puts the full screen in the other monitor any ideas how to resolve this?

ok, here goes; I could be wrong, but a way to do it would be to go to 'tools' then 'preferences' then 'video' make sure that the 'output' is 'DirectX video output'.
After that, check the bottom left corner to go to 'all settings' then go to the LHS nav:
'Video' drop it down then in 'output modules' select 'DirectX video output' then down another level to 'DirectX' and in there should be 'name of desired display device' drop down the list to 'Display 2' and click 'save'. Hopefully that should work

reading up on it, it might also be possible to move the 'controller' (the separate display/settings box) onto the 2nd screen and then going (in the controller) to video>fullscreen.

how about:

1. Go to Tools->Preferences...->Interface
2. Deselect the option "Integrate video in interface"
3. Play your video
4. Then turn the window on second monitor and maximize with double-klick
