How do I get the S-Video outlet to drive the video image
to my tv using the Intervideo WinDVD in XP? I tried
booting it up with the S-video connection hooked up to the
TV and that did nothing. When I open the DVD application,
I get some message about copy protected DVD's won't
display on the TV without protection h/w. Say what?
Ideas?
thnx

What is happening is that your video card (and/or the actual drivers) do not
support MacroVision copy protection on the TV Output. WinDVD (and i think
every other computer DVD software) require this macrovision support to be
allowed to send the video out the TV Out. The copy protection is in the
corm of a signal at the top of the screen (above the visible lines) that
disrupts the AGC circuitry on a VCR causing any recordings to be corrupted.
I'd try updating your video card drivers, as the ones you are using might
simply not have the feature enabled. What video card do you have?

They tec said to turn on vcr to correct, then go to the display and
add output device. but this did not work for me.. I do see the
monitor and the vid card are on the output, which may be the problem..
but how to seperate the nvida from the monitor and keep the right
monitor settings?
