Subject:No External Monitor Preview? Posted by: Grazie Date:5/18/2004 10:30:37 PM OKay, set up Project : Options>Preferences>Video [Tab]>External Monitor Device> OHCI Compliant 1394/DV [Selected]>Properties>External Monitor . . we now get a "Zen-like" statement, "If project format is invalid for DV output, conform to the following:" . . .well I again select "PAL DV" - wise? I think so .. . oh yes I go with the defualt Sync offset 4 Frames and the Record engage delay (frames) 7 . . . So .. I do all this and I got to the : FIle> Properties> GEneral (Tab) . .scan down the General properties and the Video Pixel Aspect is : 0.9091 (NTSC Standard). I go to the same menu and click on "Video" it shows that Pixel aspect ration is 1.0926 PAL DV. .. . Is this a contradiction? NOW, here's the thing. I've set up everything as and for PAL. Reading that this pixel setting is NTSC will this "stop" the flow of Video out to the External Monitor? Or, what else is happenning . . ? Very frustrating . . . . Oh yes. If I go Control+Shift as a reset to factory settings I CAN get the External Preview to Monitor on that one Factory Set instnce of Sound Forge. Save and close that project, reopen and USE the project the "No External Monitor Attached" warning re-appears. I go and reattach it and again it doesn't recognise the External Monitor. Very very weird . . .. External monitor works on Vegas . .all flavours from version 3 thru' 5 . . . so the connections and card and plugs and stuff are working . . I have the latest version and build of SF7 too. I would entertain ANY ideas. TIA Grazie
