dual display
    #5496227 - 04/09/06 11:11 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Im using dual display to put my computer screen on my tv to watch movies. The desktop and screens all show, but the viewing window in mediaplayer is blank on the tv. It shows on the computer screen. I have mediaplayer 10 and all available codecs. Why wont the movie show on the tv, but the desktop does?

Same reason videos don't appear in screenshots. They follow a different rendering path than your desktop. What video card do you have? Make sure you've got the latest drivers, and poke around for tweakable video overlay settings. You might be able to work around it with a program like UltraMon.

try running your dual display on clone mode if you're using a g-force card.

Which is a direct result of the MPAA not wanting you to use a frame grabbing application to copy video from a DVD.

Its a Radeon VE 32mb.  Its the only one I have, out of 4 agp cards that teh fuxing video out works on. The problem is that it used to work...  in a different machine. I guess i could try redoing the drivers and control proggie. I do use the Clone desktop option.

    What I'm doing is taking the video out on the vc as yellow and the sound card as red and white. Then, using adapters run a 3 wire rca cable into a FM modulator that changes it to coax. I just simply un hook the main line to the house and plug right in. I could put my desktop and everything on any/all tvs in the house at once. But now...  you can hear the move but you cant see it.  :confused:

Assuming that the desktop shows on the TV, but the video from a DVD does not, then it is what Ythan said... something in the render path. Get into the advanced section of your video card driver and start playing around with the settings. Change them one at a time, test, then change back.

One other thing to try is an opensource dvd player... get a copy of xine, mplayer, vlc, or one of the others out there and see if that will play the movie on your tv. If it does, then the problem may be the original player (or setting) rather than the driver itself.
