WinDVD 6 and Multi-Display Support

[ryanjz]

I recently purchased WinDVD 6 Platinum expressly for this purpose: It natively supports custom resolutions for secondary displays. My setup is such that my widescreen sony HDTV is within cable length of my PC. I'm in the process of building a media server and getting all my disks (DVD/CD etc) in uncompressed formats and onto my server for display on said HDTV without multibooting into a dedicated HTPC drive with the HDTV as the primary display.

The reason for this (if you aren't aware) is that all video (DVD in particular) looks much better when viewed at the displays native resolution and in this case that's 1776x1000. No, it doesn't completely eliminate the fact that the source material is still only 720x480 but it does clean up the scan lines etc.

ANYWAY

The 2 options in WinDVD that i need to configure are greyed out;

1. preferred clone mode

and

2. Preferred TV output resolution.

I have a 9800pro with a DVi-component adapter running to my TV. The application help is well, no help, and i've been waiting for a week to hear back from intervideo's email support.

if this feature is only available via s-video out i'm going to be pissed because, IMO it defeats the purpose of custom resolutions because that interface only supports 480p....

Thanks in advance
