I have an ATI 9800 card hooked up to an Infocus projector.
When viewing my PC on the projector and plaing a DVD in MC the DVD playback window is black.
Why is this?
Thanks

I am no expert, but i think this has to do with directx. I have run into this before when playing a video while having my video card in dual monitor mode, but only using divx. I usually just turn one of the monitors of, but that is probably not what you want to hear. Could be an ati specific thing because i also have an ati card.

My guess is that this somehow has something to do with progressive scan not being supported by the projector, or the other way around. Just a guess...

Thanks for the input.
Much appreciated.

Does other DVD software work? It may help installing your DVD filters / software again if there's a filter problem.
And cool beans about the projector. You should share some info and pictures once you get it working.

Mad Chemist had it right. I turned off one output from the card and it now displays fine.
I'd sure appresciate some help with this thread http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=21769
Once I get the sound sorted I'm done.
