Why is there no video on the TV when everything else is there

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I have connected my PC to my TV and now I can hear and see everything on my computer monitor on the TV too. The only problem is with streaming video. When playing a DIVx movie on the PC I can see everything on the PC monitor on the TV except from the movie.

Any idea what is wrong ?

it's to do with DirectX - it's writing the picture to a 'layer' of video memory above the regular screen that's not being picked up by your pc-tv device.

i've no idea how to fix it.. try an alternative player??
