[Solved] Playing movie on external monitor gives me a blue screen

Nevermind. I found the xvattr package in the AUR.

I've tried this on both VLC and Mplayer and everytime the movie starts I see blue instead. On the built in monitor for my laptop the DVD is viewable. To get tv-out I use this command:

xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768

I thought that this might have to do with the standard that is set so I tried to change it with the advice on the wiki (for ATi drivers):

xrandr --output VGA-0 --set tv_standard ntsc

But it gives me this:

X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  11 (RRQueryOutputProperty)
  Serial number of failed request:  27
  Current serial number in output stream:  27

How do I get DVD's to play on an external monitor?
