beterthenu is spot on.
the dvd's have a copy protection system on them that trys to prevent you from outputting them to a ana,ogue output (ie the svideo output) this is to prevent you from copying them onto a recording device say VHS tape. fairly acedemic now since dvd writers are so cheap however when it was first released it was justifed.
what video card do you have ? is it an nvidia family card or ATI family card ? the nvidia has heaps better driver support to do this imo. what you need to do is to either set your secondard VGA (which i assume is what your using to output to the projector) as a primary display, this is done though the nvidia ontrol panel. (goto NView then right click on the second display and select it as primary) this *should* fix it. if not there is another option in there somewhere but i cant for the life of me remember im infront of an intel video machine atm so i cant check. but the setting is something like "video overlay device" and you can select the video overlay be displayed to the primary or secondary display. if this still dosent work i suggest getting it to disable your normal screen and have jsut the projector active this should sort it out no grief. if you are using a laptop with the nvidia geforce2go video then this may be your only option as you dont really have as much flexibility in the drivers as they provide in the desktop video card drivers.
