I have just bought an s-video to scart for my Power book cause i want to play movies on my TV. I bought the Monster Video Scart. And what i see on the tv screen is a black and white version of my desktop. But if i play the DVD on the PB it doesn't play on the TV, it only shows on the powerbook.
Can anyone tell me if i can change something in the settings to watch a dvd and have it in colour on the tv screen?Thank you,

Juan

I don't know why, but s-video is often B/W in most TVs. to view the DVD change display preferences to "mirror", or specify the full screen display in DVD player prefs.

Sounds like you need to play with the settings on your powerbook. Take a look around in System Prefrences, see what works. Try one thing at a time that way when it fixes, your settings aren't wacky. Let us know if you need more help.
