Presently the Visualizer is locked onto the same workspace. In 2009 we're going to be investigating adding support for taking advantage of the capabilities of some of the modern graphics cards to reduce the CPU time and we'll also be looking into running the visualizer in a seperate thread. At that time we'll also look at breaking it out into its own form that can be moved wherever you want.

I too use dual monitors. I'm able to run Aurora across both monitors allowing me to have a greater visable area to edit my sequences. You have to set the settings up in your videocard software.

Essentially this feature is for those who want to use video in their displays (like a projector on a garage door or wall). Assuming you have the proper hardware, Aurora will use the video file (like .wmv or .avi). The second screen would be your projector. I personally don't have a projector for this year's display, so I cannot give you a detailed answer on how it all works, but that's the basics.

What you do is to start Aurora, then you can start a new sequence. When it asks for a new file point it to the wmv file (video file). It will then parse the video file to create the new sequence. The video will play back in the video window as well as allowing you to sync your lights to the sounds in the video itself.

In a future version we plan to allow the preview to be float and/or occupy a second/third/etc. monitor. At the moment this isn't an option. The code is presently there, but some efficiency issues have kept this feature disabled until a future upgrade of the graphics engine.
The option you were setting up was which screen to use for video playback (projector) for sequencing videos.
