No, I'm not talking about the controversial scientific studies involving replicating DNA. This is for all you peeps out there that have issues playing video files on your TV when cloning your PC's display to both your monitor and your television. (Or even another monitor, if you so hold the desire to do so.)
If you notice, when you play a video file on your PC (whether it be avi, mp4, mkv, ogm, or whatever), the video will play just fine on your monitor, but the cloned display will only show a black screen in the video player window. This is because of something called "overlay".
Solution #1: If your media player has an option to disable overlay, use it and your problems are over. Windows Media Player has it. MPC and Zoomplayer do not. This is the only way to get the video to display on BOTH display devices simultaneously.
Solution #2: Chances are, you don't need the video to display on BOTH devices. So whichever on you DO want the video, just ensure that one is the TOP display device in your clone settings, and it will be the one that displays the video. (You can have either or on top. That's what she said.)
Thus endeth the lesson. Now go! Display!
