Okay I had already done that..and it works..both the primary and secondary will play video...BUT....now theres nothing on the laptop screen...and the presenter won't like that...When I get to the "advanced" tab theres the 3 options.. monitor, panel and TV....it will only allow me to activate 2 of the 3...Also what is the other button next to the circle button..A clone?....I do have an older Compaq Evo 1000 that will allow me to activate all 3...but the video will only play on the one that is designated as primary..not on the other 2 so thats no good either..and when I did get the video to play when the projector is primary..the screen output was narrow..as if it had been set to 16:9.....I can come out of the recorder S-video into the projector..but the image quality is greatly diminished.....Are the newer graphics/video cards capable of allowing full video to all 3 outputs.....I know there are companies, other hardware devices that can do what I need but I'm trying to record these presentations as painless and inexpensive as possible....Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated..Thanks for your help.
