More info?)
TY again Graham. I can access pretty much anything Microsoft under an Enterprise Agreement. If there are good apps that allow a trial period, this is possible; otherwise I need to stay in the domain of freeware. Currently, the only app I have any experience in is MS Movie Maker. I feel I can learn pretty rapidly when needed.
Video signal will be split through an amplified video splitter to the projector and the PC CRT. PC will contain a combination of PowerPoint and previously recorded DV files. This set up will be done at 2 PC's to allow dual screen projection for our High School graduation night. We used the dual screen projection last year and now every man and his dog want a slice of the action!
All help gratefully recieved
