Setting up TV-Out

[AlphaWolf]

Well I had a whole reply for you but Microshit Windows decided to crash on me and I lost it,

What did I tell you about XP?

but basically, that TV option was created in the drivers long before Nview, check the page I gave you, it doenst say a damn thing about TV-Out.

Correct, nview is just the front end for switching modes/dual monitors/etc, it in itself does nothing for the tvout, all we are stating here is that tvout is enabled through nview.

Second I have and image that I cant upload cause my computer wont let me upload to emutalk that shows the option is greyed out even though my computer is plugged into a tv. This can be because of the card or the other option is because of the tv but either way, TV tool works and Nvidias stupid drivers dont. Period, the end, end of story, I did research all of this a some time ago, if you go looking around you can find the same info I did, but thats the problem with the world today they are just too lazy.

Well, that might be your specific manufacturer who chose to include a tvout encoder thats not compatible with nvidias reference drivers, either that or its a misconfiguration.

So in short

Nvidia Drivers - dont support TV out (if they dont support all systems/tv's they dont classify as supporting it)
TV Tool - supports all TVs and Systems with nvidia cards

Furthermore, I'm not arguing with you about it anymore, I know what I'm talking about.

Then how do the reference drivers by themselves allow ra5555 and myself to output to a tv? If what your saying is true then this would be impossible, and you are basicaly saying that ra5555 and myself are lieing.

EDIT: Heres solid proof that the nvidia reference drivers support TV-out. The MSI starforce 822 ships with the nvidia reference drivers, there are no changes to them whatsoever. The card includes tv-out. In fact, I am pretty sure that all of MSI's nvidia cards use reference drivers, and several of them support tvout. I at least know that the 822 does both.

If the vidia reference drivers do not support tv-out at all, then that means MSI gives you a video card that has a non-functioning s-video port, I know for a fact that they aren't going to tell you to buy tvtool if you want to use it. They certainly don't include tvtool with their cards either.

nview gives me a problem...i will only display video on my primary display driver. i mean, i can see the desktop and everything, but the one that isn't the primary display driver only displays video as black. anyone know how to fix this. i happened when i updated to the 40.00 driver series.

I had that problem too with the 40.72 version of the offical drivers, but once I updated to the 42.01 unofficial leaked release that problem is completely gone, now it displays video on both the primary and the secondary displays.

Get the leaked drivers here:

my card is a MSI gf4 ti4200 and nview works for tv-out for me...

Aye, the tv-out works for me as well, although the second display screen gets *black*. Which is very annoying. This is completly nvidia's fault as tv tool makes it look alright.

Ok ive got it working, thanx for your help so far!! however....

Do you know of a tool you can use to resize the screen on the TV as its either too big or too small depending on the resolution I choose.

Do these other programs people are talking about enable you to do this?

Also is it possible to have the monitor and TV working at the same time?

although I prefer not to use it... just because you can't use both at the same time (unless your monitor supports low frequencies (mine doesn't))


have fun with it!

But if your graphics card has a dual ramdac like the gf4 ti you can

I think the original question was answered in the first few posts so...
