another question, will the disc work faster whit fat32 or ntfs?

 

Fat32 is faster - NTFS is more secure.

When you hook up the s-video out, you have to make sure it's turns on in the display properties as a 2nd monitor, as well as being set up for the proper resolution.

 

okej, but does that mean i cant hook it up to a redular tv`?? just have an old model that supports 50hz and can only choose 60:S

 

newer mind, just got it to work thx for ur help

 

Just a few words of advice when using S-video to your TV.

When dealing with video, you can use an S-Video cable, or an S-video to composite. It depends on which your TV has, or both. Of course S-video is better than composite so use it if possible.

When it comes to watching movies off your computer hard drive, you will need to set the resolution of your laptop to 1024x768, then have your laptop detect the TV, then put the TV in Video mode. Then play the movie and set it to full screen. (If you don't set it to full screen certain sections will be cut). I use Cloned to view movies on my TV.

If your playing DVDs from your laptop and using S-video to display them on the TV, this is a much simpler task, just clone and play the movie, and everything should work perfectly without any loss of images.

If you have any technical problems just post here, or need help with wiring or anything.

 

What if you wanted to pull footage off your tv/vcr and edit it?

Would you be able to do that or would you need a tv tuner card?

 

Yes you would need a TV tuner to get tv shows from your TV/VCR to your computer to edit.

Or you can use a DVD player/recorder, and record it onto a DVD then put it into your laptop and then edit it.

Something like the W2 series has a TV Tuner in which you can do exactly what you want.
