I used to hook my pc to my dvx100a via firewire, then hook my dvx100a to my television.

I just upgraded to PP2.0 from 1.5 - suddenly the television isn't seeing what's playing on the pc. I tried exporting to a blank tape in the camera, but it seems the camera isn't receiving anything from the computer. I made sure the camera's in VCR mode, but nothing.

Far as I can tell, I'm doing everything I did in PP1.5. Any ideas? Not even sure what to try next.

Could it be as simple as unplugging and replugging the firewire cable? Then waiting a few seconds?

Do you have your preview options set correctly for the display window? This has often been the problem for me.

I've tried various combinations of turning on and off, having the camera on and recognized by the pc, shutting down pp and launching the app again.

I don't know if I've tried unplugging the firewire and putting it back in, but I'll try! The preview options sound likely... I know I haven't looked at them, so they're probably at whatever the defaults are...
