I would say this is not easily possible/worth implementing some ugly hack. I 
don't think directx will ever support the border case when parts of the 
window can be see on both windows as it would have to divide the overlay 
between the two cards. Therefore we would have to create overlays on both 
cards and handle this. Format negotiation is even worse. You also need to 
think about the different overlay limitation. Some cards can only scale 
up/down to certain sizes etc.

If you want to move the window from monitor to the other while playing
use -vo directx:noaccel
