What video card can do this?

[Czar]

So that when I play a video file windowed on my computer it outputs fullscreen on the tv. Which ones have that feature?

yes. my ati radeon 7500 ($100 B&M retail) will do this when its in theatre mode (a control panel option). On CRT/LCD you play the video windowed (it can even be pushed to background) or full-screen and the full screen video plays on the s-video output. this works with ATI DVD player, ATI file player, Dscaler, Windows Media Player and RealPlayer (& perhaps others).

i believe you can setup the matrox cards to accomplish this

I have a matrox g400 and I'm thinking about getting the new radeon but I'm not sure if it can do that.

Can all ati cards do this?

Yes the Radeon 8500 CAN do this, all models I think to (LE etc.)
