..hey guys..is it possible to play 2 separate movies (trough 2 Windows media players, running at same time for example), in dual head mode on one graphics card, so on both outputs will be different movies??

As long as you use two seperate media playing programs, you should be fine. On my computer, I can run Windows Media Player and Mediaplayer Classic at the same time, one a dual-head video adapter.
Two sessions of Windows Media Player running simultaneously didn't go right, but I don't remember the specifics.
However, even with seperate media playing programs I did notice one issue: only the first instance (of whichever media player is launched) used the defined graphics card custom gamma/color settings, the second instance always appeared to use the defaults which didn't look right on my screen.

The other way to do it is to use something like Director to produce a dual screen presentation.
You could run two maybe three movies on a powerful enough PC - Sync may not be good and of course sound would have to be from one or the other or it would sound a mess (unless you planned it).

Completely of topic, I read the title as dual head drive as in dual heads within a hardrive, was expecting for exciting news.
But to make it seam like I am posting for a reason I will now agree with the above people but also add if you want to use the same player try out vlc as it allows multiple instances to run concurrently.

also off-topic: There have been some dual-head CD-ROM drives in the past, but they never caught on because the actual speed increase was negligible while being significantly more expensive. don't know if anyone is still making them.
..acctually what I am trying to do is to create stereoscopic cinema for my home..I'm trying to run same movie, processed on the stereoscopic way, so I can see 3D image over polarized stereoscopic glasses..in order to do that I have to run same movie processed for each eye separately (2 movies basically) over 2 projectors..sound should be within one of this video sources, so its not critical..what I'm trying to do is to run this 2 movies at same time from one machine and feed 2 projectors, and thats why I need double head output for 2 separate video sources..
