MORE TV PROBS!!!

hey pplz

Ive got the tv out working on my gf4 mx440. The problem is that its black
and white, no colour I have tried 2 diff vcr's to see if thats the
prob, but it was the same for both. Prob must be with the vid card. Does
any1 know how to fix it?

How are you connecting, via s-video, if so then your TV doesn't support an
s-video signal, hence the black and white. In order to fix this you'd need
a TV that did.

the vid card came with a svhs to rca adaptor. In the properties, u can
select svhs or composite output.

Yes. Its rare these days to find a vid card with composite out. It came with
a s-video to rca cable so that u can use non s-vhs equiped tv/vcr's. Also in
the device selection menu of the nvidia driver/properties thiingy, u can
switch between composite and s-video out, and also what format. I have tried
both composite and s-video, and all the diff formats, but none of it seems
to give a colour picture. I dont think that its the vcr, cos i have tried
several diff vcr's, but all r b&w pics. Im thinking its something to do with
the vid card.

but the video card has only an s-video output connection right?

Just for reference my laptop card is an ATI. The other thing I noticed was
that it wouldn't play DVD's, I'd just have a black box where the video was
playing, not sure if that's because it's a software decoder or what but I
think most people have software decoder dvd's, although I dunno if anyone
with a sw decoder got there's working.

Did u try to choose Theater Mode in the Overlay properties?

I'll have to check again, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a "Theater Mode"

Ur the one with the ATI on a laptop right?
Go to the overlay tab, click on it. In the box is a thing that say's clone
mode options or such. Click that and choose Theater mode.
