TV-OUT problem

[DannoUK]

I am using a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Laptop, Celeron 850 128mb ram with built in DVD drive. It has an S video tvout on the back I have connected this using a s video to scart lead to my tv's svideo compatible scart socket. The picture appears in full colour but is too big for the tv screen. You have to scroll round trhe screen using the mouse to see the full picture. Howver on the leptop screen it appears perfectly. Chnaging down screen resolutions on the laptop corrupts the picture completely. I am using WInDVD 2000 to play back. Any ideas... please?

Use 800x600, 16-bit color, and Source aspect ratio setting on the player

I have just tried the 800x600 setting at 16 bit colour and although the picture does appear now at the lower resolution and colour level, the picture is still too big for the TV screen. I have to scroll around with the mouse to be able to see the whole picture..... Thanks for your help... but anymore ideas?

If the screen is too big even now use 640x480

hehe.. =)) never heard of that..
do you use the software that came with the card to get tv-out?
maybe its a glitch in the program?
try using TvTool or something, maybe that will help.
