I have a MDD DP 1.25GHZ Radeon 9000Pro 64MB (Stock). It has no S-Video out. To be able to watch videos on my TV< I am thinking of putting in a Radeon Mac:Edition (original Radeon) PCI. Since I will have 2 video cards, Can I easily get the video from MPlayer and QuickTime to output to the Radeon PCI S-Video? This will save me tens of hours of burning stuff to DVD.

Doing this will allow me to connect my Mac to my TV today. I am asking this since I actually have the Original Radeon in my hand (so to speak) so please don't tell me to go and buy another video card since can't do that. Anyone who has done this please advice away.

Thanks

If you use the two video cards in "spanning" mode, all you have to do is drag the window that's playing your video to the screen connected to the Radeon PCI.

If you use the two video cards in "mirror" mode, it should just work.
