Hey there. Try this, as it is what I have to do for MY video card anyways.
Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties, go to the Settings tab and click the Advanced button. For me, when I do this, I have a tab on the new window for my Nvidia card.
When I select my Nvidia tab, there are several settings that I can adjust. One of them actually says display. Here, there are 3 different settings, Normal view, Clone view, and Dual View. I set mine to Clone, and when I start to watch a video with my laptop, it sends it through the S-Video output to my TV, and automatically adjusts the Aspect Ratio and what not so that it plays Full Screen, (or Wide depending on the movie), on my TV. Hope that helps for yours!
Cheers
P.S. If you don't mind, let me know if that works for you k?

The s-video jack on you computing device is an output. you could no longer watch a video that way. you will possibly could get the two a television, an exterior dvdpersistent(diverse than a dvd participant), or in case you computing device has an inner dvdpersistent you're superb.

once the two are connected you just have to change your screen right click the desktop> propertys>settings then there should be 2 screens just activate the second screen and you can drag the movie to the side and it will show up on tv it works great :)

Your TV must support S-Video, and to watch it you need to switch TV to S-Video channel, sound will use a different set of cable, ie. Stereo to 2xPhono
