Problem with movie display on a clone (TV PAL)

Dyck · #1 (**permalink**) 19th October 2003

I have a G4 mmx 440 se installed with TV out. So when I play a movie there's no prob on my pc screen but my tv (wich is an identical clone of the pc screen) doesnt show anything in the window where the movie supposed to be, it remains black.
I have the same problem with the divx player and windows media player.

Any ideas would be very welcome
thx

Just start the n-view tool and select the tv as primary device.

Set the option in nVidia drivers to resize the overlay surface in TV (secondary device) to full screen (I think it can be found in Overlay options).
Or you can tell the BSPlayer not to use the overlay at all. Uncheck the box "use overlay" under Options/Preferences/Video.

Also disabling macrovision helps,I think it is the biggest reason for not seeing the picture on the tv screen...
I suggest getting tv-tool to for optimizing the tv-computer connection,it worked me.
