As long as you can play the video on your computer you should be able to view it via the TV output. You just have to get your graphics drivers configured properly.

If you want to use S-Video the result will be 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL). It's the job of your display card to convert the screen playback to S-Video.

Certain display cards will convert the desktop to 720p or 1080i component or VGA-HD or DVI-I.

It's a display card issue.

PS: Alternatively it's a hardware transcoder issue. Some advanced DVD players act as transcoders to HDTV output formats.
