DVD-Rom to TV = blank screen
using a dell laptop(Inspiron 7500,p-3 650Mhz)with an ATI rage 2c (8meg,AGP),Win98se...
also using PowerDvd4.0...
i've got this connected directly to the TV via super video cable,the desktop shows on the TV,sound etc...even the PowerDvd splash screen shows up on the TV,but when i launch a DVD i get nothing but a perfectly blank screen,...suggestions?

I'm gessing macrovision. Look it up. I'm guessing even mentioning this is against AUP :)

how is this against the AUP, he's asking about using tv-out from his laptop.
Like someone else said check your display settings, and try having the second display display the same as the primary display.
I've had this problem a couple times using my ATI 8500 where I'd get a black screen when trying to play a movie in Powerdvd.
