The dvd on the s-video output display problem

I think I am doing something stupid, but I can't understand it.  I used my T40p for many years, inclunding using the vga external display monitors and digital projectors player.  For the first time, I wanted to use it to view DVDs on a TV using the s-video output capacity.

I activated the s-video and connected to the tv without problem.  My office is correctly displayed on the TV.  However, when I use the dvd playback software to show a dvd, the tv does not display the content.  The content of the dvd shows correctly on the computer screen, but not on the TV screen.  If I use the view "full screen", nothing shows up on the TV.  If I show only the dvd in a window, then everything on the desktop is shown properly on tv, except the dvd window is blank.  Yet once, it appears correctly on the computer screen.

I have tried various software to media, including intervideo WINDVD and Classic Media Player player.  I tried PAL and NTSC discs.  No difference.

I think I'm missing something obvious.  Any ideas appreciated.

T40p 2373-G3U, 1600 MHz, 1 GB RAM, WinXPP SP2.

1400 x 1050 with ATI Mobility Fire GL 9000 LCD display adapter display.

OK, I solved this problem myself.  The solution is to use a configuration that uses ONLY the external display.  Apparently if you enable the output s-video, but do not turn OFF the LCD screen, the video card only then produces the dvd on the LCD, not s-video content.

There are two ways to select the s-video output only.  Go to settings-> control panel-> thinkpad configuration.  In the window of thinkpad configuration, at the top left, there are five buttons to activate different display configurations.  One of them is "tv only".  If you click this button, the LCD of the computer stops, and the s-video output became active.  Showing a dvd in this configuration using intervideo WinDVD or other programs video display shows the contents of the dvd to the TV via the s-video output screen.

The other way is to implement a model of custom view using the Director of 'presentation', which is accessible from the 'thinkpad configuration' window described above.  It is available under the "view" dropdown  I created a custom method called 'dvd' that automatically sets the external screen in 640 X 480 resolution.  This is consistent with my standard TV ntsc resolution and avoids the need to change the display resolution before you activate the s-video output.  I choose this plan using the key FnF7 is quick and easy.

Hope this is interesting to someone out there.

  • DSC-WX150 will stop recording at 03:00 minutes when you use the HDMI video output

    Hello

    I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX150 camera.

    When using an output HDMI cable to view the camera to a television screen, the video movie recording function to 3:00minutes exactly every time automatically stops.

    When there is no HDMI cable plugged into the camera, it records fine 20 minutes.

    I tried changing film formats, changing the power settings, camera reset the values by default, etc., but with no difference.

    Why it only record at 03:00 minute exactly mark when you use the HDMI video output? Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hi tight,

    Welcome to the community of Sony!

    If I understand correctly, when you use your TV as a monitor while video recording automatically stops and does not cross the entire 29 minutes. Based on your manual, it is normal for the camera when it is connected to another device via the HDMI cable. This serves as protection for the camera.

  • Satellite A100-192: how to use the s-video output?

    My A100-192 out s-video. Can I use it to watch DVD on screen? What is needs? Can be no problem - simple connect laptop with TV and relax. Or problems?

    Hello

    Generally all the information on how to connect laptop to TV, you should find in the manual of Toshiba which is already preinstalled on the laptop.

    The laptop supports a switch for easy display on television.
    By using the FN + F5 key combination, you can switch between display devices.
    Therefore, you must connect the laptop with the s-video cable to the TV, turn on the s-video on your TV and the FN + F5 to change the TV screen output.

    If you want to watch DVDs, you must use a DVD as WinDVD playback software.

  • Satellite X 200-213: occurs on the recent video games display objects

    Hello, first of all I'm sorry that I do not speak English very well then, perhaps, it will be difficult for you to understand me and for me to understand. Let's try ^^

    As the title says, I have problems with artifacts on my laptop X 200-213. It occurs only on "recent" video games such as Tomb Raider Legend, Oblivion, Prey...
    Textures are flashing, they can disapaer, strange parasites can be here too.
    Here's an example of what it can be, and is often worse:

    [Image 1 | http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/5568/artefactuk4.jpg]
    [Image 2 | http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4056/artefact2bm8.jpg]

    Artifacts appears after a time of random game, only on the new levels of games, it does not occur if I stay on the same stage, I have to be originally a "loading screen" (I want you to understand me because I don't know how to say it ^^).

    I have never overvlocked nothing is very strange.
    This problem has occurred on the pre-installed nvidia drivers that have been installed when I bought the laptop. There are on the Toshiba official site and other drivers nvidia drivers too.

    I realized something: when drivers includes the Nvidia Control Panel, there are has artifacts, when it is not the case as on the pre-installed drivers or other non official as 163,14, it is not artifacts.

    I know I should use these drivers but more recent offers better performance and it is not normal: I want to be able to update my display drivers without artifacts.

    When I tried to see the temperatures, I find them so I don't know if it's an overheating problem.

    Please help me, I will be grateful.
    And sorry for this terrible English.

    I searched this forum for similar issues and I think I have a solution.
    It seems that the Realtek audio driver causes this problem.

    According to this Toshiba document a new soud driver installation will help you solve this problem of HD - DVD.

  • incorporate the html google calendar display problem

    I have embeded the custom html code to google calendar.   It looks ok on my page in adobe muse,

    showing about 8 colors and different schedules and the default view is supposed to be a week.

    However it not displayed correctly.  You can see my calendar, such as published on

    http://http://farandawayfarms.BusinessCatalyst.com/weeklylessons.html

    my agenda should be very similar to this example I found on the support forum...

    http://http :// www.learnadobesoftware.com/calendar.html

    If I insert the code in the html object several times and publish the page, sometimes I get the correct display.

    but then after the page is opened and closed repeatedly, the display looks like the old link and not the last.

    This seems to be a bug.   I use the beta program, but don't see any indication that I use the new version of cloud, even if I am a subscriber of cloud subscription.   I have adobe muse 4.1.    all my software is installed since my license of cloud.

    I'm trying to go live with this site in a few days, and I need to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    I think that I found the problem in Google calendars.    After many many many wasted hours on this.    first Muse, and then finally in Google calendars.    I removed 'birthday and events Contacts.  in my calendar.   I discovered that the calendar worked in muse when I was connected to google calendar, but when I wasn't, the formatting was wrong.   After trying several times and comparing it to two years old web calendar that worked, I removed the 'Anniversary Contacts and events' calendar of my view of the calendar.   He appears in design mode and preview of muse and after publication, it is the display in safari and chrome.   I will continue to follow closely.

    Thanks to everyone who answered me and made suggestions.

  • The stylesheet/CSS with display problem avisports collection site

    Hi guys,.

    I (finally) managed to get a version of the management assessment and systems of working capital and also managed to publish the site "avisports" sample that comes with the Download Sites WebCenter.

    Only one problem: while the content of the site and pictures to the loading section, there is no CSS style applied to anything.

    Something to note:

    (1) I tried to repost. That didn't seem to do anything.

    (2) two CSS files are referenced in the avisports - 'all.css' and «form.css» homepage When I try to access these files directly, I get a 404 (file not found) error.


    Any ideas on what could be the cause?

    Much appreciated!

    -DeAngelo Lampkin

    Looks like the avisports sampling site expects to find these CSS in the form of static files under the Web application, they are not managed as assets within Sites and therefore are not publishable. In an installation of tomcat for example they are found under

    webapps/CS/avisports/CSS/LT7. CSS
    webapps/CS/avisports/CSS/Form.CSS
    webapps/CS/avisports/CSS/All.CSS

    There are 72 files under webapps/cs/avisports, for most of the images, css and javascript. If you copy this avisports file to an equivalent location within the webapp deployed on the instance of delivery, but then the avisports site should find them.

  • RH9 - legend of the window not correct in the generated html output

    I installed RH9 and opened an existing project, from RHX5 in the new RH9.

    When generating HTML Help, the caption of the window of output displays ""HTML Help ' instead of the name I gave to the default window (in my case: "Rimses 5.6 Help"). "

    In RHX, this was linked to the default language in the Robohelp (Dutch in my case) project from the regional settings of the computer. We had a work around by adding in the HHP file / Section "Options" text "Language = 0 x 409 English (United States).

    Now, in RH9, of workaround no longer works.

    I've tried several things:

    -remove it in the HHP file workaround

    -change the locale of my PC

    -check the defaults of the project, the html settings, window etc.

    Someone at - it an idea how to solve this problem in RH9?

    Thank you

    The language can be set from the dialog box options SSL "HTML Help" by choosing the language defined as 'R' in the drop-down list. However, this option must be set whenever the output is generated.
