Can you finally drag the dvd player in windowed mode to another display, and play it in full screen on another display other than the main one? thanx.

Seam to remember this isn't a 'is it possible' thing, but more of a 'not allowed to' due to the licensing agreement for DVD video playback.

Hope i am wrong though as it really irritates me too!

The real question is, can you now play a DVD across BOTH screens as if it were one huge screen?

it works with xine in linux because of xinerama, which is enabled with apple's X11 when you have monitor spanning on when you start X11. if you can run xine (or something like it) in the X session, maybe it will work. i haven't tried, so this is theory.
VLC for OSX can't do it, btw.
