View Full Version : Trouble With Divx On TV [; ; win2KPro]
|
kev269 Oct 12, 2002, 11:49 AM With TV out on my laptop, I'm trying to watch DivX movies on my TV. But when I try to, it plays the first 3 or 4 seconds then the picture just goes black. I'm using PowerDVD and ive installed the latest DivX codec. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks Kev hothi Oct 12, 2002, 01:19 PM Have u switched off the sleep function for the HD both in bios (Powersave) and in screensaver powersave... kev269 Oct 12, 2002, 02:10 PM no, i will try that thanks lycrake Oct 12, 2002, 05:30 PM erm, if u r on windows media player switch off hardware acceleration, or put the slider down to no hardward acceleration, i think its in options! That does it Captain Oct 12, 2002, 05:38 PM Could also be a power issue, make sure the laptop is plugged in and/or the screen is closed. kev269 Oct 13, 2002, 11:21 AM well it can't be a power problem issue, because when it goes black on the TV, it's still playing perfectly fine on the laptop. hothi Oct 13, 2002, 12:31 PM Installed the latest drivers Graphics Card may work kev269 Oct 13, 2002, 12:33 PM ye ive already done that too Captain Oct 13, 2002, 02:53 PM Originally posted by kev269 well it can't be a power problem issue, because when it goes black on the TV, it's still playing perfectly fine on the laptop. That doesn't rule out a power issue. If I plug a monitor into my laptop without the laptop being plugged in, the picture appears on the monitor for 10 seconds max. The laptop screen stays on all the time. |
