Play divx on tv screen

[MeN@Ce]

When I try to play a divx on my tv screen through my second output, I see the windows, but there is nothing in it, so just a black windows, can anyone help me solve this problem, I would like to use the second outlet to my tv screen. It's nicer to watch a movie on a big screen, instead of a monitor.

you need to enable DVD-MAX for outputting video to your secondary output.

... and disable clone mode for better performance ...

Maggi:

So, one should not tick "Use DualHead Clone" + "Keep optimal refresh rate" under Clone settings?

What do you mean by "better performance"? Less stuttering or better picture quality on TV?

Thanx!

[MeN@Ce]

Thanks, I'll try this out this evening.

Hi Bond,

Clone mode eats up quite some performance and thus it should only be enabled when you actually need it.

However, picture quality should not be affected at all.

[Bond]

Ok, thank you Maggi!

Maggi, can you tell me how to disable clone, I can't get it done.

Furthermore, on my second monitor I get good picture of the movie, but as soon as I connect my tv screen to the second port everything stays black.
Anyone a solution?

[Maggi]

Just make sure you have connected your primary monitor to VGA1 and your TV out adapter to VGA2 ...

You en-/disable clone mode by using your defined hotkey.

Btw, what card are we talking about ?

[MeN@Ce]

Thx, clone is disabled again.

We are talking about a Matrox G400 Max.

I did, connect my first outlet to my primary monitor
and the second outlet to my tv screen.
I get a second picture, but not the movie's. That's the only problem.

cheers,
