&nbsp;I managed to get the s-video out on my laptop to work, so i can view<br />
&nbsp;my screen on the tv, but whenever I go to play a DivX video or any<br />
&nbsp;other video clip on the laptop, either in WMP or DivX player, the<br />
&nbsp;area where the video is supposed to be showing is black. The video<br />
&nbsp;plays on my monitor, but on the tv it's only black. However, if I<br />
&nbsp;play a quicktime file in quicktime, it will show up on the tv also.<br />
&nbsp;Any ideas?<br />
<br />
This also happens when I use a monitor cable(RGB) to my plasma tv as well.<br />

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
