Two scenarios.

1. Your movie is on your computer monitor and Windows is merely extending your desktop to the TV. You'd need to drag the movie to the TV (the other monitor as Windows sees it).

2. The resolution of a TV is much lower then what you're using on the computer. Older TVs use 640x480, newer TVs can go higher. So try bumping the resolution way down in your Windows Display Properties.
