I have enabled TV-Out to a 27-inch standard TV set, using Clone Mode, as explained in this NVidia Tutorial

I can see the desktop on the TV. I can see pictures. But when I start Windows Media Player or another media player (VLC, GOM), the picture is black, although the border of the player is displaying and I see the time running at the bottom.

My primary monitor is connected through DVI. TV is connected with S-Video

What am I missing here? The whole point of using TV-out is to watch movies on the TV set.
