I've wired up my laptop with my TV, and can quite happily see my monitor on the television screen, no probs, all works as it should. When i open windows media, no problem, can see it fine. The problem comes when I try to play the Divx movie, plays fine on the laptop, but on the TV all you see is a black box in windows media player. Any suggestions anyone? I've also tried RealPlayer with the same results.
the obvious thing would be too try playing the divx film using the divx player its available on divx.com see if that works?
I manage to watch divx movies on my tv through media player, maybe your just unlucky dude. sorry i dont actually have any help for ya just wanted you to know that it should work.
Could be a few things such as the frame rate the divx was playing at, have you tried to play it full screen and see if anything happens?? Could be the graphics card too, might just block out stuff like that!
Maybe you need to enable Twinview on your computer and get the latest drivers? Thats if you are running a nvidia chipset.
