How can I transfer my movies from laptop onto television?

Dear friends,

Can you help me out to determine how can I connect my laptop onto my
television so that I could play any CD/ DVD in my laptop and watch it
onto my television.

I tried connecting 4 pin S-video / scart cable without success. the
S-video out in my laptop is a 7-pin socket. But people at computer
shops have told me that they have been able to connect laptop with
4-pin s-video cable.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
RAS

You can get a lead that's 7-pin S-Video on one end and 4-pin on the other.
Connect the 7-pin end to the laptop and the 4-pin end to the cable.

Apart from the physical connection, you need to go to the Display
Control Panel applet, navigate a little there, and enable the S-video
output.

Do some investigation there.

YES MATE, YOU NEED TO BUY A TV TUNER WHICH IS AN ADAPTOP THAT CONNECTS
TO YOUR LAPTOP ALLOWING YOU TO PLUG A 4 PIN SCART LEAD INTO THE ADAPTOP.
