Movies do not show on external TV

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

I am using an s-video cable out of a laptop and into my
TV. I am able to see everything on my TV except a movie
I made with Movie maker. I see the media player on the
tv but where the video is, it is black. The video does
appear on my laptop screen. Has anyone seen this and
fixed it?

On my laptop (a Sony) I have to use Control Panel/Displays
to set the TV as the primary and the laptop screen as secondary
in order to view movies on a TV.
