How can I project a video from MacBook Air (AVI / VCL)?

With the VCL I can watch videos in the screen of my computer. But making a presentation, the PPT files are OK, but when the video starts I only can see it in the mac´s screen but cannot project it.

The link with the PPT doesn´t work

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Video mirroring

Mirroring displays the same image on each display.

  1. Make sure your additional display is properly connected and powered on.
  2. From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences. or Press Command-F2 to detect displays
  3. From the View menu, choose Displays.
  4. Click the Arrangement tab.
  5. Enable (check) "Mirror Displays" in the bottom-left corner.

In the example below. the blue boxes represent each display that is connected. The white bar at the top of both boxes represents your menu bar and is shown on both displays when they are showing the same information.


I hope this information helps ....
