TV Out Problems With Radeon 9000 Equipped Laptop Playing Rented DVDs - PLEASE HELP - TIA
I am having a hell of a time playing rented DVDs trough my laptop to the
TV. THe Desktop displays OK but any DVD information is Blank (Black screen) I tried Power DVD and WinDVD and both do the same thing. The regular computer desktop shows OK but any video content in regular or full screen mode is just blank data. It is fine on the Laptop screen itself. I travel a lot and like to watch videos in a hotel but I cannot get them to work into the S-Video Port of a TV. I am sure it is something to do with Macrovision or the ATI driver prohibiting content from getting to the TV. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. |

Try shutting the lid on your laptop when the movie is playing...

That does not work either. I get the complete picture as it is displayed
on the Laptop but no Video content. Just the border of PowerDVD and where the movie is actually displaying on the Laptop screen it is blank on the TV. The ATI driver appears to be blocking the signal to the TV. I have heard of others having this problem. It is something to do with the encryption. There MUST be a hack for the driver to fix this.

Hmm....you are using plain clone mode? (that is, desktop on TV)
Video-overlay WILL NOT show on secondary display in clone mode. You need to enable "Theatre mode" in Catalyst options "Overlay-clone mode options". "ShokWaveRider" wrote in message . ..

Where do I find the Clone Mode and Catalyst???? I have looked everywhere
in My ATI Advanced settings and I cannot find it. Basically I do Properties, Settings Advanced and go through all the options. Nothing that relates to that. Please can you help further? SWR |

Catalyst Drivers are only for the AGP cards not the Mobile Radeon.

Non the less...the mobile driver option sheet looks the same (pretty much).
On the "Advanced-Displays" section, make sure the tv-out is enabled and select "clone mode". Then go to "Overlay-clone mode options" (this i'm not sure if it exists in laptop drivers) and select "Theatre mode". "ShokWaveRider" wrote in message .. .
