Dual Monitor Issue

I am trying to do a Dual Monitor multimedia show. I have two video cards on my computer, and I am trying to hook them both to video projectors, and play a file that is 1600 pixels X 600 pixels. Basically I am strecthing the file in borderless play using BSPlayer over the two monitors. My issue is that when the window stretches across both screens, the video will only appear on the screen that has more of the window on it. If there is 3/4 of the playing window on the left monitor, I can see video there, and a black box the size and shape of the window on the right monitor. Same if reversed. The video will play on either monitor, just not both. WMP has the same issue. Does anyone know of anything that could fix this problem?
 
If you're playing a DVD or motion video, you are running into a problem with "video overlay" Typical graphics cards and drivers permit video overlay only on one display, and never across two separate cards. While you can extend your desktop arbitrarily across multiple displays, you cannot extend a DVD/video overlay across multiple displays.

One exception is to use an NVIDIA video card with two output ports and "nView". (Any Geforce 4 or later card falls in this category except personal cinema.) With nView drivers on NVIDIA hardware you can extend the desktop across two screens. The NVIDIA control panel nView Options allow you to extend a desktop across two displays. I forget the terminology, and I'm not on an NVIDIA or Windows machine now.
