Is it possible (via an extension, perhaps?) to get Flash videos to do the same thing?<br> <br> (I know that both YouTube and Google Video have full-screen options, but this isn't what I'm looking for.)<br> <br> The details:<br> <br> Firefox 1.5.0.3<br> NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200<br> <br> Thanks! post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.37789 Mon, 08 May 2006 11:16:11 -0800 nitsuj video flash youtube googlevideo dualmonitor http://ask.metafilter.com/37789/Autoexport-of-embedded-Flash-video-to-second-monitor#584728 This is possible because QT and WMP use a video overlay to play video; Flash video doesn't. I don't know of a way to make Flash 8 use one. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.37789-584728 Mon, 08 May 2006 11:22:11 -0800 zsazsa http://ask.metafilter.com/37789/Autoexport-of-embedded-Flash-video-to-second-monitor#585085 VLC plays FLVs, but I'm not sure if VLC uses a video overlay. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.37789-585085 Mon, 08 May 2006 19:07:27 -0800 ryoshu
