DVD Video - Use PC to play DVD's on TV

12-01-2003, 10:14 PM

I want to use my laptop PC to play DVD's because my DVD player is not
multi-region, but when I connect it via the AV3 S-Video input on my TV, the
picture is blurred and poor quality.
Is there anyway to connect the output from the PC to the TV and still get a
decent quality? Can I use SCART RGB connections - and how would they be
wired?

Is your laptop usually better at playing other video formats like Xvid or Divx?

Maybe it's the analog DVD protection? If so try getting rid of it. Use a ripper
to copy movie to harddrive.

I get a tremendous picture on the laptop, but the picture is blurry on the
TV when connected via a s -video 4 pin lead. I have tried ripping it to the
hard disk but the result is the same.

Thanks

I have tried ripping it to the hard disk, but it is still the same blurry
picture when connected to the TV via a s-video 4 pin lead. Its clear on the
laptop.
Have I wired it OK?

Thanks
