Getting 720x480 resolution

[Hekana]

Since DVD's are this resolution, is there a way to set my video card to this? Right now I use 800x600 for DVD's. I have TNT1

If you have TV-out, you can output to your TV at 720x480. However, you cannot output to a monitor at 720x480. I've forced that resolution into the display slider and when I enable it, my computer goes into a coma. I believe the Hollywood+ outputs to your monitor at the native DVD format of 720x480 though, so there is no scaling.

Note that the 720x480 resolution will only show up for tv-out and any attempt to use it for the monitor will put your computer into a coma which can only be fixed by booting into VGA mode (winnt, 2k) or Safe mode (win9x).

Follow these instructions and you must use TV-tool for outputting to the TV at that resolution:



<< To use this resolution it has to be initialized before. This doesn´t work automtatically yet but it´s easy to do manually. With every nVidia reference driver you get the file nv4_disp.inf. In this file there is a list of all resolutions to install. You just have to add a new line for each of the three color depth 8,16 and 32:

HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, &quot;8 720 480 60 70 72 75 85 100 120 0&quot;

NV15 is an example here for GeForce2 cards. Which term your card has can be found at the very end of this file. After adding these lines and saving the file, reinstall the driver and that´s it

my monitor supports 720X480..

not that I use it at all, with my Hollywood Plus, I just hit play, and put it to fullscreen, so that it's taking as much screen as possible (if it's a widescreen format, of course, it has the black part on the top and bottom, but enabling 720X480 would only stretch the image, unless you have a monitor that has a physical 16:9 ratio).
