Hi,

Looks like you may not have the video codec installed on your PC... Is this an AVI file?

The following article may help you:

Cari........I am trying several extensions that don't
work: wmv, mov, ifo (I'm not even sure what these are?)
Thanks for getting back to me. Sally

Hi Marc.....Don't laugh but I don't know what an AVI file
is. I think the extensions on the things I am trying to
view are wmv, mov, and ifo. Thanks so much for your
help. Sally

MOV needs Quicktime (www.quicktime.com)... IFO will NOT play on WMP.. it is
part of a trio (usually) of files with the same names but different
extensions that refer to files on a DVD. (the other two being VOB and BUP).
If you have DVD codecs installed, the VOB file plays.

I have an Nvida 5700 ultra video card with S Video out.
I was able to hook the S Video to the TV and play my
desktop images, games, etc. directly to the TV without
problem. However, I can not play my windows media
player. It works fine on the computer screen but does
not work on the TV screen. I'm at a loss.

Hello there,

Yes thats perfectly notmal....its all to do with what you computer
monitor actually is. In this case its a special mapping direct from a
section of memory (Its as if the screen itself is the memory). You can't do
that with a domestic TV.

If your NVidia card has provision for a second monitor (mine has) then
instead of using S-Vide connect the output for the second monitor to your
SCART socket. Doing it that way WILL cause the video to be displayed on the
TV. I have done it this way and find the result to be less than
satisfactory.....plugging a second monitor into the card gives the same
quality as the first monitor.

Hope that helps a little.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly
