You need a video card that has a TV out jack.

Look on it for a round S-Video jack or a set of RCA jacks.

What are your system specs?

Some TNT2's have video out, some don't. You have to look at it.

Similar question to the on posted...I have a Gainward 750XP card, with a VIVO interface...actually its an adapetr that plugs into the video card and gives me four jacks, 1 red RCA 1 yellow RCA, 1 yellow S-video and 1 red S-video.....

My tv is about 25 feet away....my question is what do I need to hookup the computer to the tv to watch DVD's

For sound I'm currently using the onboard sound (its a Asus p4s8x mobo with C-media 5.1 sound, has the standard audio-in, audio out and aux port)

Will a single RCA cable from the video card to the tv suffice for the video...or shall I use S-video cable....any signal loss at 25 feet.

And for sound, what kind of cable... or should I just use the comp for sound output?

Any help would be appreciated?

Sonny
