You missed reading the question completely.  He wants the gui on one
screen and the actual movie to play on the other screen.  This is not
easy to do.  Once an application is "attached" to a display, it is
difficult to move it to another display becase (from what I
understand) all of the resources of the application are "tied" to the
display it started on.

What the user really wants is a Xinerama-aware window manager.
