firewire output to TV ???

[familyguy]

Hi I was wondering if there is software of some sort of setup that
would allow me to output video to a tv monitor?
I can do it in vegas output the preview window through my dv camcorder
and watch it on the tv. Is there a way I could do this with other programs like media player?
thanks

Won't WinDV do that?

I checked it out but what I am hoping to do is use my firewire out as a tv out by going through my dvdcamcorder..I am wanting to use it for watching movies off the computer. Windv will let me record but it will only let me use avi files. I also wanted to play dvd's

Doesn't your graphics card have TV Out? Most do these days... If it does, that'd be the logical solution. Seems to be a roundabout way to feed the video thru a camcorder via FireWire...

yes it does but I have to crt monitors hooked up to it right now. It won't let me use the s-video and the two vga outs at the same time. And I am not ready to give up one of my screens, Yes I am going about it in a very round about way but since I can use my to computer screens for editing on vegas and see the previews on the tv monitor all at the same tiime it got me wondering if it was possible to view other media that way if not no prob I will just get off my lazy butt and go in the living room.

...or get a 2nd GFX card? If your only requirement for it is TV Out, it shouldn't set you back many bucks...
