This is caused by the X-Video overlay (the video output from Linux video 
players) only being able to be on one output at a time. You need to use xvattr

To change screens:
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1

To change back:
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0

Another possible solution would be to set up the projector as a second display to the right or left of the laptop screen using xrandr and starting the video on projector screen rather than on the laptop display. Not sure if you can maximize or go to full screen this way.
You also may be able to use Xinerama or mergefb
