ffmpeg has several display output muxers/devices. The most common one (saying it works well, and that on many platforms) is "sdl" a.k.a. "sdl". Have ffmpeg create two outputs: $ ffmpeg -i INPUT -c whatever OUTPUTFILE -c copy -f sdl :0 (You may need to drop the copy codec if sdl cannot handle your input or it isn't raw, and/or at least adjust the pixel format to one which sdl handles - but it will report that in an error message, I believe.)
