WinDVD doesn't allow TV-out!!

[kinneera]

This is designed as a restriction?!? Does anyone know a way around this? What could possibly be the reasoning behind that?

This definitely lowers the value of this product in my opinion...

It has no real tv-out as a H+(it's pci card), you have to use your videocard tv-out to be able to play on your TV with WinDVD.

I have an AIW 128 16MB PCI card with TV-out. WinDVD will play VCDs through the TV-out, but not DVDs. According to the help documentation with WinDVD, this is by design. Any thoughts?

ati cards carry an on board dvd player.

The DVD player in the ATI MMC (7.1) won't play the damn DVD either, just gives a black screen and sits there. I'm running Win2K SP2 with all the latest drivers for everything, so any suggestions on how to make SOMETHING play DVDs through the TV-out correctly?

Have you tried PowerDVD?

[kinneera]

PowerDVD gives me an error to the effect that the disc has supposedly been damaged so as to inhibit playback. (Nothing wrong with the disc, plays just fine in a standalone, and in WinDVD).
