Hello! I have recently put together a machine to act as dvd, divx and mp3 player, which I eventually plan to upgrade to pvr duties also. The idea is that this machine will replace my Yamaha standalone DVD player. This is a fairly decent DVD player, and I'm looking for similar quality output from the pc. The hardware setup is as follows: Sempron 3000+ (S754) with 512MB RAM GeForce FX5200 (from my spares cupboard). Trust 514DX soundcard (optical and coax in/out) Silverstone LC10M case with iMON remote & VFD. MCE 2005, nVidia MCE driver 72.14 I'm connecting the S-video output on the nVidia card to my A/V receiver, along with the optical output from the soundcard. The receiver outputs the video to a 28" widescreen tv. I've managed to get the sound sorted so that I get full 5.1 output through the receiver. The problem is the video. I cannot get it to output in widescreen. The only way I can get the picture in the correct proportions is to set the pc res to 800x600 and have the tv expect a 4:3 input, but this sucks since it only uses a tiny box in the centre of the tv. I have black bars left & right due to the tv getting 4:3 input, and then bars top and bottom from the pc playing the widescreen dvd. When I tried setting the desktop resolution to 1024x576 it just makes me scroll left/right to see the full desktop I've been through the nVidia display settings numerous times and haven't found anything that helps. Is the tv-out fixed at 4:3 ratio? Or is there another way round this? Using a pc monitor is not a valid answer! Surely the whole point of MCE was that you could use a TV as your display, and obviously most people have widescreen? Thanks, Andy
