projector video presentation software

Hello. I am hooking up a projector to my laptop via VGA connector and will be using it to project videos and stuff at a ceremony. Was wondering if there was a software, that will let me queue videos and stuff on my laptop screen, and play them on the projector that is set up "extend my desktop to secondary monitor."

I dont want people to see me moving windows overs and my mouse moving all over, be cool if there was software for this.

anyone know something?

 

What you are looking for is a media player with playlist support. Windows Media Player has that by default. You can create a new playlist, and then put your videos in the playlist in the order you want. They will then play in that order, without you having to interact with your computer in any way.

You might have to change some settings in your graphics card control panel (nVidia nView or ATI Catalyst Control Center) to enable Theatre mode, so that you can keep Media Player running on your laptop display while the external plays the videos in full screen.

Alternative players which support playlists include Zoom Player.

 

well I would like to go in and switch the videos if need be or play a sound effect

 

I found this software that prety much does what I want

and has a 30 day full functional trial,

its a church service software, it lets you control all things from your laptop then send it to screen when your ready, if anyone knows a better program, please let me know

 

So...you mean you want to be able to rearrange the playlist and add other items to it? Because I believe I wrote that you can do all that. If you set your graphics card properties correctly, you will be able to run a windowed Media Player interface on your laptop display (windowed means that you have access to the desktop, the taskbar, other applications, all the interface buttons, etc.), and a full screen of the video playing in Media Player on the external.
