Theater overlay with Nvidia cards???

I work for a company that devlops Software for talking to internal networks in cars and such. One of Our Monitoring Programs can display videos that can be sent over these networks. I don't know much about the file type or type of stream. Well apparently a feature was found on the CCC that allowed the video to play in its given window with proper size and and also play full screen in a second monitor. Some Programs like Windows media Player are already smart about this and will work with an Nvidia based card, but unless I have missed it I haven't been able to find a feature on the Nvidia drivers that would let me do the same. Does any one know if this is possible or not, the main reason is only a very small handfull of Dell Laptops use ATI based cards and none of them are up to snuff.
 
It's buried deeply in the NVidia control panels, but the Overlay trickery exists with those cards too.
 
I don't have an nVidia based setup to play around with, but I could have sworn there was a menu option dedicated to video overlay. I could be wrong or maybe it was something else but labeled as such.
 
The problem is I think that the ATI "Video overlay" and The Nvidia one seem slightly different like they aren't completely talking about the same thing. I need to get a video playing in one windows in its real spot and full screen in the second monitor. If anyone can help me figure this out it would be great.
 
Now I'm back in front of an NVidia machine ... It's in the NVidia control panel, sections "Full Screen Video" and "Overlay controls". The driver is a tad old though. Things might have moved elsewhere.
 
its is definatly there, and can do excalty what you want. i do it all the time ith my comptuer and the tv. i am not at my comptuer right now since i am at work but it is there in the control panel under the Full screen video and Video overlay settings, you can set it to go full screen and then select the monitor you want it to play full screen on. it works really well, and is easy to use.
