I've been looking at all the posts re: issues with external monitors, and just last night I hooked mine up for the first time and saw that I had similar issues (for which none of the posts have a definitive answer). Here's what happens with my set up:
I "capture" DV AVI (720x480) from a Hi-8 camcorder via my Firewire/ADVC-100 A/D converter (zero frames dropped) thru VV3's vid cap. While in the vid cap utility, if I right-click on the captured file and choose play (the utility switches to "print-to-tape") and view it on the external monitor (firewire port to ADVC-100 to monitor) it plays FLAWLESSLY. I close vid cap and then try to view the same clip thru the external monitor via the explorer window OR from the timeline within VV3 and the clip essentially "skips" frames on the external monitor. When played in the same fashion in the VV3 preview window (not external monitor) the clips play fine once again. Anybody have a clue? Why should the files play fine thru vid cap's "print to tape" function (VV3 open in the background) and not play perfectly from with in VV3's timeline?
Square pixels are off, properties match video source, defragged drives.
PIII 866 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 32 MB GeForce2 MX, 40 GB 7200 RPM OS HDD, 60 GB 7200 RPM HDD(video only) on PCI Ultra ATA 100 controller card, Win ME.
Dynamic RAM previews and prerenders play fine in VV3's preview window (not ext. mon.), but skip frames on external monitor.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sonic Foundry?
