tvout problems

[fiooh]

hello, and sorry if this is not he right place for my post, but i can't find anything matching better;
I own a GEF5200 based video card with 56.72 drivers, and I'm getting trouble configuring the tv-out: everything seems ok, clone mode activate and i see the desktop on my TV; but when I play any media (dvd, mpg, avi....) with any player, the area covered by the motion video (both fullscreen and not) remains black on the TV;

anyone knows why this happens? what I'm doing wrong?

tnx in advance.

The following MAY be pertinent to your situation:


There have been several postings over the past few months regarding this specific matter. The solution is to download and install the older NVidia driver(s)...


"The 41.09 and future drivers have more stringent checks in the driver to comply with the latest Macrovision requirements. If the TV encoder does not support Macrovision, you will get the "Macrovision Distribution Failed" error message or a similar message depending on which DVD software player you are using. The BT868 and Conexant CX25870 TV encoders do not support Macrovision. If your graphics card is equipped with one of these TV encoders, then it will not support DVD playback with our 41.09 drivers and above."
