PLAYING DIVX MOVIES FROM PC ON TV

[deejay.2001]

hello
does anybody know if there is a way to play divx movies from pc on TV without reseting computer?
i do have grafic card in my computer but if i want to see divx on TV i have to reset computer and then i can see divx movies on my TV (through TV out on my card)

can i play divx movies from pc on TV without reseting PC with some additional grafic card or with some software please?

I guess it would depend on the video card. On my ATI 9800 pro I use a TV as my 2nd monitor. In the display properties box i have to option of shutting of or turning on display #2.

on my old matrox card (g400), i had to put in dualhead mode so it could output 2 resolutions seperately on both screens. It worked pretty good.

never had to reboot to turn the 2nd display on and off though.

try going the website of the your cards manufacturer or type the problem into google.

THANKS
i do have only ati 7000VE basic card
i do not think i will be able to have 2 displays with 2 resolutions
so i do need grafic card for $200 to do it?
so how about another PCI card with TV out?
would it worked?

i do have TV out on my card but always have to reset computer so system will see it

so i have to buy card with 2 monitors out...or TV out on card is enough?

you probably have to enable dual monitors either in the ATi control panel or Windows display propserties.

Yes, if your video card has TV out, with an svideo port.
