For laptops there is usually no overlay support on the external video
out. You can get around the problem by disabling hardware
acceleration in the display properties. Some DVD players however,
will fail to play if there is no overlay available.
Or make the tv the primary monitor, which has overlay support, but remember
to change it back.
