Dual display setup

[andante147]

Have created a 42 minute movie that includes the accompaniment track and visuals for musical. I will show the movie via large media projector from the computer VGA out. I'm running 3X in Windows 7.

I am able to access extended desktop, duplicate desktop, etc. via funtion F4.

I meed to be able to PAUSE the video (for live drama) and restart without the controls showing on the big screen. I need to be able to SHOW the movie while viewing the CONTROLS on my monitor display.

Can the "project playback" function be set up to play this way?

If not, is there a recommended format I should export to to be able to control the movie this way?

Any software recommended to show the movie with a public view and a control view on my monitor?

Thanks

Why not just use Windows Media Player?

When in full screen mode you can hide the control bar and then just use the keyboard shortcuts for play/pause. Nothing will appear on the screen when the shortcut keys are used.

I agree with Guy. Basically VS is not a media player, it's for editing, so it's practical to keep the controls in view. I've seen anything from Windows Media Player, to specialized programs, that include wireless remote controls used in presentations. I had one back in the days of Win95-98. I finally discarded it, as it would not work with WinXP.

One of the reasons I was asking about using VS to PLAY is that it's taking over 4 hours to render a video file or DVD, and now it is crashing every time I try to create a file or burn a DVD.

What are you running for hardware? Your profile is not complete so I can't tell. That seems to be a long time to render a video file unless you have a lot of edits and effects added.
