I know the problem with all Radeon cards (and some nVidia cards, apparently). See, they block out any video file immage on the TV because they are bunch of assholes. You can circumvent this by opening any old video with the media player you dont like, pause it, then open the movie you want to watch with your favorite media player. This works... they block out the first video file because they are nazis and want to stop the stealing of movies over the internet or something; but they werent smart enough to block out a second video file open at the same time. This works for every kind of video file as far as I know, but Ive run into another hitch: I want to watch a flippin dvd, and windows doesnt like having a video file and a dvd playing. I cant switch the TV to the primary display because windows / my radeon 9800 pro wont detect the tv for some god damn reason, so in the Display tab, I have to go to "troubleshoot" and select force tv detection (or whatever its call). Then, it just wont let me select the tv as the primary and shut the monitor off.
Anyone else know some other solution to my problem? Because Im about ready to back to nVidia if ATI is going to be a bunch of losers.
Sorry for the anger in my post, but Ive been fiddling with my display settings and found the PERFECT set up for watching movies, and now the program I use (TVtool www.tvtool.com) doesnt support radeon. So now Ive lost my cool setup and am in the TVout dark ages I was in when I first figured out how to set this up.
