Well 1st you have got to check if all the cables are working and are of the rihth tipe.\n2nd set your tv to AV chanel mode\n3rd activete the ports from your laptops video card software!\nit should work if not try a NEWER DRIVER AND BE SURE TO CHECK ALL THE SETINGS. p.s.: some movies wil not show on the tv unles the tv is the only video output destination(in this case it will show your desktop &curent player but the video feed wil be black)(solution switching off your laptops screen from the same software you switch tv output on)!

You can extend your screen and make the TV out to be secondary (or primary) and play the DVD on that side of the screen. At the same time you can still run a program on the other screen and not interfere with the DVD. To extend the monitor, right click on your decktop, then properties, then settings and you will see monitor 1 and monitor 2. Click on 2 and then select Extend my desctop on this ....\n(the TV out has to be already connected to the tv at that time).

you would most likely need a 'tv tuner' card\nhowever i am not sure if laptops are capable of the same 'quality' as hdtv\n\nsee the sources below for some ideas on what is available out there

try to use AVS Video Converter http://www.best-video-converter.com/avs-video-converter.html\n\nThe program is very simple.\n- insall and run it\n- open a file, click "To DVD"\n- click "Convert Now"\n- at the end of this process, the program will ask you to insert a blank dvd\n- burn it\n\nthat's all

You need playback software that is capable of decoding MPEG-2 video.\n\nIf you are on Windows, Windows Media Player 10 can play your DVD for you.\n\nOtherwise, consider WinDVD or PowerDVD for playback.

Record it onto a DVD using a DVR/VCR combo then play the dvd on your laptop and save it.

Firstly, make sure your CD-ROM drive is compatible with DVD media. You should be able to see the DVD logo on the front of the drive or you can find your drive's properties in Device Manager. \nSecondly, you need a DVD decoder and a program like Windows Media Player to view DVD's on your system. \nTry visiting http://download.com/ and searching for DVD decoders.

1. Connect the S-Video cable on both laptop and TV in any order (first or second is irrelevant)!..\n\n2. Find the icon which belongs to your video card in your computer (mine is ATI), make right click on it. Then follow to  "settings" tab, and then left click on the "display settings tab".\n\n3. On the "multiple monitors" "pop out window" click on the "display" tab and then press on the TV button!..\n\nAt the end of this step you have to be able to see your computer desktop on your TV!...Your TV has to be in a specific channel (mine works on the 00 channel which is were I get the signal. -For some TVs might work on 3 or 4, or maybe you have to find it and surf all available channels in your TV-)!...\n\nIf your whole desktop or the whole full screen of your movie can't be seen on your TV, then you need to right click on your desktop and click on "properties", and on the "Display properties" tab adjust the resolution (mine works on the 1024x768 pixels - My TV is a 27 inch-)!...\n\nGood Luck!...

Either get a television card for your computer of an HP DVD writer with RCA inputs. In either case you can hook a vcr to your PC by Coaxial or RCA cables. I've done both.

There are a few different options.\n\n1) DVD-RW/VCR combo set top.\nThis should be fairly simple to set up. Much like connecting a dvd or vcr player to the tv.  If you're not as computer savvy i'd recommend this option.\n\n2)DVR-RW burner & capture card/device for your computer.\nThis option is a bit morecomplex due to the fact that you will have to connect your vcr to the capture device which is connected to the computer.  Import the video to some software..lets say Microsoft Movie Maker.  Edit the video, taking out portions you don't want.  THe finally use dvd-movie burning software to create the dvd disc (nero would work well).\n\nSo again... option 1 is the easiest to go with.\nHope this helps.

I'm assuming you downloaded a video.\n\nIf so, the video has to be in the format that your stand alone DVD player can play.\n\nIf the video is in avi, mpeg, mov, wmv, etc., then most likely your DVD player will not be able to play.\n\nHowever, you can hook up your laptop to the TV using S-video or other connectors to view it.\n\nOtherwise, you will need to find a software that will convert the downloaded movie to the format that your stand alone DVD player can read.

you cant...you need video and audio rca inputs on your laptop to do this plus recording software. try this link\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1456601&CatId=1428\n\nit comes with software too!

you need a video card that supports tv out via s-video or composite connection.  it really helps to know what video card you are using and its display capabilities.  if you have a s-video out on your video card, you would plug an s-video cable into the video card and the other to the tv(or a composite cable depending on your tv connections).  windows xp will usally detect the tv after rebooting your computer and no further setup is needed.  hope this helps.

add a PCI/AGP graphic card that has TV out port (S-Video), or maybe RCA adapters
