How to select vga card output for movies?

I'm new in xlobby!
I have a vga card with 2 outputs: vga output and s-video output.
I want xlobby runs in vga output but movies displays in s-video output.
How can I do this?
Thanks

if you plug video monitor in the svideo then your card should just downsample the image to svideo. movies too. are you runnong a dual monitor setup? if so make monitor 2 (tv) be the desktop to open your movies, at whatever resolution you want. What is your setup?

Colby, with steven help and yours, now I can play movies in my TV (1024x768) with s-video. I use the nvidia dualview and extend the screen. In ZoomPlayer CommandLine I use the command /F:2.
But now I'm going to try a nvidia card with dvi,vga and s-video, because I want to use the vga connector for my TV (supports 1600x1200).
When I proves it, I will say.
Thanks.
