TV playback from PC

I need to play back ripped DVD's or other video files to a large
screen TV that has S-Video or composite input only. The output of my
ATI AIW 9600 card is less than aceptable. What do I need to play back
"DVD quality" video from my PC to the TV? Would a PCI card MPEG
decoder do the trick? Any recommendations?

Dale,
When you say the output of your AIW 9600 is less than acceptable, so you
mean it doesn't
look good with even good videos?
The reason I ask is because most web compressed video, is low resolution so
when it's played on an ntsc monitor, especially a large screen tv, it will
look bad no mater what connection is used.
Just a thought,

AnthonyR

How's the quality when you play a commercial DVD movie on your laptop,
displaying on the large screen?

It doesn't look as good as when played from a stand alone DVD player.
It's not as sharp.
