    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good piece of software that will allow me to play 2 video files at once?

    I'm experimenting with different filter settings and it's kind of difficult switching back and forth between video files.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    you can play multiple instances of the same video file by using VLC media player.

    Oh, I'm looking to play multiple instances of different video files.

    Play file 1 and file 2 at the same time, side by side.

    You can do that with most video players. In Media Player Classic, under Options, Player, set to open a new player for each media file played.

    They will look different in terms of luminance, because only 1 application can use the video overlay at a time

    If you are comparing filter settings (eg. with avisynth), you can use Interleave() or use mulitple tabs in AvsP to flip back and forth between different combinations.

    That's not quite true, poisondeathray,

    Make an AVISynth script with 2 (or more) source files and use a PIP/tile function.
    You could also use a 2-file-aware player, like Stereoscopic player. (It's not necessarily meant for what you want to do, but who cares, it'll still work correctly)
    Or, even mux 2 files together (with the old AVIMux v.4 or Graphedit) and play them with MPC, MP6.4 etc.
    One controller will control BOTH windows.

    I have a couple of stock scripts that use the stack command and various cropping methods to do side by side comparison when doing restoration work. I have posted these before in the restoration forum
