The PURPLE cable box is for VIDEO IN.... djeezzz ..... RTFM.

CONNECT THE RIGHT CABLES BEFORE PROCEDING!!!

Then it's just a matter of enabling TV-out [Display properties -->
Settings --> Advanced --> Display's* --> Click the blue tab on the TV-pannel
and press Apply] Windows will ask to confirm the choices, your screen will
flash briefly and TV will show a copy of your desktop.

Now you can go to the Overlay*-tab --> Press OK to confirm if the warning
screen appears --> Clone options --> Theater mode (This will automatically
play (most) movies full screen on the TV)

*: ATI Tabs (these show a red ati logo on them) they are part of ATI's
Control panel

This should get things working.

Thanks, I did rtfm btw, it wasn't clear enough as to what to do. I
hooked the svideo cable to the proper cable this time and got
somewhere but still not quite to where I need to go.. might be an
incompatibility problem with the DV camera itself. I'll give it a shot
next time with the VCR.

Thanks again
