I have an Nvida 5700 ultra video card with S Video out.
I was able to hook the S Video to the TV and play my
desktop images, games, etc. directly to the TV without
problem. However, I can not play my windows media
player. It works fine on the computer screen but does
not work on the TV screen. I'm at a loss.
 
Hello there,

Yes thats perfectly notmal....its all to do with what you computer
monitor actually is. In this case its a special mapping direct from a
section of memory (Its as if the screen itself is the memory). You can't do
that with a domestic TV.

If your NVidia card has provision for a second monitor (mine has) then
instead of using S-Vide connect the output for the second monitor to your
SCART socket. Doing it that way WILL cause the video to be displayed on the
TV. I have done it this way and find the result to be less than
satisfactory.....plugging a second monitor into the card gives the same
quality as the first monitor.

Hope that helps a little.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly
