I have a gateway 825gm media center 2005 computer. I hooked it up with a s-video/RCA cable to watch media files on tv. I could watch dat and windows media files on tv but not rmvb files. I could only hear the sound but no video from the rmvb files. Is there a way to watch rmvb on tv without converting or do I need to convert it into mpeg first? Thank you

I don't have TV Output video card but with anything Real Video the first
thing to do is go to www.free-codecs.com and download RealAlternative.
Remove Real Player and all its components from your system and install
RealAlternative.

Then you have a shot at doing stuff with .rm and .rmvb files.

I am using realalternative to watch rmvb files. I can watch it on my computer/monitor screen but I can't watch it on tv.

Hmmm, like I say, I don't have a TV output on my PC so I don't have experience to draw on. You might also try forums on doom9. There's a Real Video forum. Somebody there might be doing it.

So you are using Media Player Classic for playback? Playing via real video or direct show? If it is set to real then what is the output for that set to?

I'm using realalternative to watch and playback rmvb files. Like I said, I connected the pc to tv with a SVHS + Audio to TV Composites Cable. There's no problem watching it on my computer screen but I couldn't watch it on tv, there's only sound but no image on the tv screen. I could watch dat and windows media files on tv. I just want to find out if there's a way to show the rmvb video image on tv without converting.

"I'm using realalternative to watch and playback rmvb files."

I don't understand that. As far as I can recall real alt is a bundle of real codecs, Gabest's real dshow filter and Media Player Classic. So you could play back the file in windows media player using the codecs and gabests filter. You could playback via MPC using real decoders (not dshow) or you could use the built in real media dshow filter in MPC.

I could also do all of the above without having ever installing realalt.

So you are using MPC for playback? Yes or no?

Hmm, I don't know much about Real Video stuff, but could it be the video is non-interlaced and therefore won't show up on a regular NTSC TV? (Just a wild guess.)
