DVD playback to TV

[Guest]

Hi

If I have a athlon 1GHz, GeForce2 MX card with TV out and DVD drive can I play movies on my TV with appropriate cables?

Am I missing something? I assume that CPU can process the data without hardware decoder.

Will I get a decent image? (better than VCR and without flicker/stutter?)

Thanks

Just your cable for connecting to TV (will usually be SVideo, but depends on your card), and also select your output as TV. The resolution on TVs is not as good as the resolution on monitors.

You'll get the same image quality as a regular DVD player. What you need to do is download Software DVD decoding for it to work though.

If you can use S-video that will be much much better than any vcr could supply. Even if you use a composite cable (the yellow RCA) it should still be better than vcr. Good luck!
