Question: "composite out" on video card by rorajoey2005-03-08 02:06:32
  As suggested above by Alcyone 2005-03-08 02:52:52
1) Set your monitor as primary display and TV as secondary (you probably have that already, since you can see at least partial graphics).

2) Set clone mode on. Theather mode doesn't work with my setup (dunno why) and extended desktop is not what you need.

If above fails, try updating/reinstalling the video driver, rebooting, configuring again...

I have mine setup like this: ATI Radeon 8500LE -> ATI RCA adaptor -> RCA cable -> RCAtoScart adapter -> TV. (And no, the stupid TV doesn't take S-Video/SVHS/whatever signal.) The OS is Win98, player is PowerDVD, DirectX is 9.0b or 9.0c.

Tip: My TV doesn't fill-in the intermediate scanlines (it was 200e cheaper than the second cheapest true-flat one), when viewing in unstreched 16:9 mode (cuts from top and bottom to show the middle of a letterboxed 4:3 image). So when I'm watching a 16:9 DVD, I instruct PowerDVD to ignore aspect ratio (hence it shows as ugly streched 4:3 in my monitor), but put my TV in streched 16:9 and hence I get better quality TV image.
