    I have recently hooked up my computer (ATI Radeon All-In Wonder 7500) to my TV via S-Video. The computer is normally displayed on the TV. However, when I play a Divx/Xvid file with WMP, Winamp,or the Divx Player the media space is blacked out. The videos work great on computer and DVDs displayed on the TV through the S-vid work fine.

    Thanks!

    Maybe you can have the same problem that I got when I recently bought my ATI AIW 9700 with S-video out when I tried to put my Divx movies in my TV what I got was a blank screen no video what I did was this.

    First go to Control Panl the Display properties
    then go to advanced then go to the tab that says "Overlay" then push the bottom that says "Clone mode options" you must have checked Theater Mode and Full Screen video that must fix your problem.

    Check that you have activated both monitor and TV in your Displayes tab first.

    i think that the problem is that you are playing your videos whit a software that use the overlay of your ATI. I suggest that you download a player like "Crystal" and then go to preferences and then in the directshow menu unmark "allow overlay". In BSPlayer you must hold Ctrl-P and then mark force RGB mode or unselect use overlay. I hope yo
