Product: video-sl
Computer: pc
OS Version: xp
---

Athlon 64X2 For Desktops, 2.3ghz
XP Pro, 4 gig of ram (xp only shows 3gig)
Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT video card

Trying to use Video SL with the S video out but the screen splits into 2 sides with the right side of the screen on the left side of projector screen and left side on the right.
I know everything is ok with the video system at the club because my Macbook displays perfectly on the same setup. I would use the Macbook but the processor isn't fast enough to run video sl. I downgraded quick time to the older version and installed movieinfobatch. has anyone had this problem is there a quick fix?
thanks for any help

Check your Nvidia settings within the Nvidia Control Panel. Specifically, check the Multiple Displays configuration settings. I'm not sure what's going on, but this is the first place I'd check.

Any luck?

Not yet. Still trying to figure it out. It has to be a Nvidia s video issue. Now it seems the s video signal isn't strong enough to keep the projector from going to blue screen.

How long is your cabling? You can always stop off at a Radio Shack and pick up a distribution amp for around $50.00
