I'm a bit confused when it comes to playing divx and mpg files on a pc out to a tv set. The resolution difference between the two is what confuses me a bit. First my question would be what card has the best video-out. I was thinking of getting the Hauppauge PVR-350 for capturing, it also has video-out, they still sell this card on Ebay. It seems anything shown on my pc screen would go out to my tv set, but the problem's a lot of divx and mpg files are half or less resolution than a pc screen's resolution, so they show up smaller than your display. You then get the rest of your desktop showing up on your tv set. My second question is are there applications that will utilize your video-out and play a movie file on your tv in full screen even if it's not full screen on your pc screen? The VLC player comes to mind.

I would suppose that depends on if you have an HDTV or not for starters. I would say a VGA card would work fine for a non HDTV but if you have an HDTV go with something with DVI outputs.

I would confirm if that is correct or not before buying. I havent used cap cards in ages so I can't comment on that.

Most any media player will work fine for full screen. Even Windows Media Player will play anything full screen. Usually all that is required is double clicking inside the video area of the player. If not just look through the menus. It should be there.
