I'm trying to use my MacBook to play DVDs on my TV. I thought I could do this but when I use the mini-DVI to DVI converter and the DVI to HDMI cable to my TV, I see my desktop and nothing else. If I have an application open above the desktop, it shows the desktop on the TV, not the application. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks for any help!

Yes it is showing you as running dual monitors. On my macbook i can hit the f7 key which has 2 boxes on it, to make that second monitor the main screen as I've heard the newer version of the macbooks have went away from the f7 key so you have to figure out which key it is on your machine.
