Hello Nin,

that's perfectly possible of course. However, you'll need to launch as  
many instances of VLC as you got displays. VLC.app's current release  
does allow the playback of a single file at a time only. You can  
launch multiple instances by employing Terminal.app in ~/Applications/ 
Utilities by running /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC in as  
many sessions as you want. Alternatively, you can also make copies of  
VLC.app and launch them in the Finder.

In case that you have a certain amount of Obj-C programming skills,  
feel free to download VLC's source code and use the VLCKit framework  
in order to create an in-house application suiting your needs. VLCKit  
can be used as a replacement for the QuickTime-based Cocoa Multimedia  
views and is similarly easy to use.

Best regards,

Felix
