?? According to the Microsoft documentation, with independent displays only
the primary one is handled by the window manager, so I can't see how
-adapter would be able to move the window to a different screen.
At most the video would move to a different screen while the window stays
on the primary one...
MPlayer is not designed to have a drawing area independent of its Window,
that it works with -vo directx is probably just an accident...
