Dual monitor full screen help

[applecow]

I have a 15" MacBook Pro with a 20" ACD. Whenever I full screen view something, like say with VLC or even a web browser video, I lose functionality on the other screen. It never really bothered me until I realized I needed the multi-tasking.

Is there anyway to keep functionality on either screen when the other is in fullscreen mode?

look in the preferences of the video player app you are using.

Thank you! That worked perfectly.
