Hallo all,

when enabling 'theatre mode' via the properties it's possible to playback DVDs or Xvid files full-screen on the tv independent of the size of the window and resolution on the monitor.

However the resolution used on the tv-out is always 640x480 :( (you can see this by opening the screen properties after starting playback of the movie) although I enabled the 720x576 mode (PAL DVD-Resolution) by editing the registry.

As long as I don't use the overlay, 720x576 works great on the tv-out (i.e.: the registry change worked). Using overlay allways results in 640x480, independant of the player beeing used (tested with PowerDVD, WMP and BSPlayer).

Used Hardware/Software: Radeon 9000 (Catalyst 3.2), WinXP

Thanks in advance for any hints or ideas!

you should be able to set the output to 720x576 with the overscan disabled, that should make it playback fine.
