DVD Replay from PC

The objective is to find a way to replay DVDs from PC.
Needs to reliably go out the second monitor output.

For testing purposes, using a commercial copy protected disk as the test source although I expect that normally I  would be given "home made" DVDs to replay.  (So that the replay was legit)

Show Cue System $60 to $150 written right here in Brisbane.
Gets the second monitor right.  Right from the start.
Will play ripped VOB files but no audio.  Gets the widescreen wrong
Could use something to convert to AVI and then this may be a solution.

Zoomplayer V7.00    inmatrix.com
Well this actually plays on the second monitor. and I can even put a couple of files in the play list and select between them and they play in the second monitor.
Cant specify in and out points.

Songshowplus   www.songshowplus.com   $300 basic $450
This is a do everything presentation program.
To evaluate it, I have to send my name and address.  OK done.
License code arrived by email a few seconds later
Once I entered the license code, SSP ran and woohoo it sees the second monitor right away.  Amazing!
BUT  It appears no DVD playback.  Have to install an extension I think  T^he word "DVD" does not exist in the help system.  Slack.



Mediaplayer Classic
Comes as part of K-lite codec pack.
Will not play the copy protected DVD even straight from the DVD drive.
Gets stuck on the menu part of the DVD but opening the VTS_02_1.VOB file seems to work.

VLC  V1.19
Can not get it to automatically open on the second monitor.
Plays the ripped dvd OK
Plays direct from the DVD drive OK
To detach the controls.  Tools>Preferences>Interface> Clear check box "Embed Video in Interface"
Then Close VLC and restart it!

Don't use the F11 full screen interface as this seems to always have the controls docked.
Still can not get it to open on the second monitor.
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.  Inconsistent and frustrating

Powerpoint 2007pro
Can't insert DVD or VOBs

Screenmonkey
On my toshiba laptop it will not load DVD VOB files
On Chris's M9V it crashes with a message that "Screenmonkey has encountered a problem and has to close"
A real pity because this program has such a clean user interface


sprintbit media player  2.13  15 day trial  Normally $20 (I think)

Claims second monitor support but I can not get it to work.
No sound either.  Yes I did try both output devices that it offerred and rebooted a couple of times to try and get it to work.  Sent them an email. 

KMPlayer V1434
Well it plays on the second monitor but I can not detach the controls. SO the controls are on the second monitor.
