I can't display Winamp on my TV with an S-Cable

caliaa · 14th June 2008, 00:28

My actual dvd player is not working so I'm using Winamp to play DVD movies, the movie is displayed on the computer screen, but when I connect it to the TV via an S-Cable, the Winamp screen on the TV is all black while the movie can be seen on the TV.

Is tehre a way to fix this?

have yu tried outputting using another video player? VLC media player is an excellent free one. Also, I bet you're using an NVidia video card? - they have several issues when outputting via their S-Video link. I know... I've got one!! Check out the NVidia forums...

Hope this helps

Some video cards do not allow more than one video overlay. Try disabling the overlay or hardware acceleration option in Prefs -> Video.

I will post the full option in a minute or two. Winamp is busy.

Uncheck "Allow hardware video overlay..." in Prefs -> Video
