| 703025 | 2008-09-06 23:31:00 | You need a videocard with video out and the video drivers for it, so you can enable it through its config / program / whatever the drivers installed Altho depending on the videocard / drivers, not all let you view DVDs on TV. |

| 703027 | 2008-09-07 04:18:00 | Yea well then as Speedy says you need to check your video card to see if it has video out - either composite or s-video is what your TV will most likely have. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 703028 | 2008-09-07 05:54:00 | OK Thanks. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 703029 | 2008-09-07 18:46:00 | Both our CRT TV's have S-Video inputs (Mitsubishi and a GoldStar).. all I did was make sure my video card had an S-Video output (I had to buy a card), and the cable to connect them both. Since mine was done with a Linux OS (GeexboX), drivers were preinstalled |

| 703030 | 2008-09-09 06:09:00 | I connect my computer to TV through S-video. TV only has component though, luckily the graphics card driver could set what type of signal get sent out so I just select component and that worked. Had to buy some adaptor plugs from dse(!) to get the right combination of cable though... |
