Be sure to have your resolution 1024x768 or lower... otherwise it will be too big for your TV to display the whole picture at once.
I just realized that when I did TV-Out, the display property said that it was running at 1024x768, but was actually running at 1152x864 (my Monitor Res). Thanks for clearing that up.
In defense of WMP 8+ (I still hate 7 with a passion), it's able to play WMV/ASF files without the damn buffering wait period that WMP 6.4 has. THe only other use I have for it is when I'm doing major overhauls of my winamp play list (just recently, I organized nearly 1100 stray mp3s on my HD into my master list, boosting the count from somewhere around 3090 to a current 4175). WHen I'm messing with winamp, I need music to listen to, and the WMP 8+ playlist is able to play a continuous stream of music that 6.4 can't.
Lastly, on the subject of video players, is MPC a DVD player as well? Also, is there a way to disable macrovision through a software means (I'm a little leery of doing a firmware upgrade, considering the problems that arose with firmware upgrades with my CD-Burner and Video card) or a DVD player (that doesn't suck) that will disable macrovision and remain as good, or at least nearly as good as PowerDVD?
