It should work fine, I personaly do a simaler thing on my own setup.

1 thing i did notice tho is some times the game can make the other screen turn black, regardless of what the 2nd screen is playing or doing.

So have you tried it with a differnt game?

Just tried a few different games with the same result. If I click on the 2nd monitor, the full screen game of the 1st monitor will minimize and the video will come back on the 2nd monitor.

Ok, got it now. The Core Media Player was the source of the problem for some reason. Windows Media Player works just fine.

Now I can watch Star Trek TOS and play a game while wearing 3D glasses all at once. I believe I just leveled up in the Nerd prestige class.

I do run into some problems when I minimize the game, very quick flickers on both screens. Doesn't go away until I bring the game back up.

Ya'll my heroes. Gaming and watching movies at the same time. Talk about being effective. I've always dreamt I could work that way too since I have so little time to spare. Keep it up.
