Hi,

I’m a french user of Vegas 7 and have many difficulty to find English/American peoples to make this little test with Vegas (7.0d):

-In a DV project, enable external preview monitoring (OHCI).
-Open in TRIMMER a WMV, PNG, Uncompressed AVI, HDV file or Generated media (anything else DV or Mpeg SD file).
-Start Playback in Trimmer.

The playback start in Trimmer & internal Preview window, BUT on External monitor I get a blue screen during 2 seconds (or a black screen when using Canopus ADVC110 converter). Generally, I get this issue with media needed to be recompressed.
Playback from Time Line work fine.

I sent those movies to Sony to illustrate this problem:
http://sony.vegas.1.free.fr/External...reen%20V7d.wmv (OHCI)
http://sony.vegas.1.free.fr/V7_Preview_test_2.wmv (Secondary Windows Display)

Unfortunately, Sony is not able to reproduce it.

However, I’m the moderator of a French forum and absolutely all guys of my forum are able to reproduce this issue.
In addition, I made this test on many computers and had this issue on all of them.
This occur with Vegas 5, 6 & 7.
Vegas 4 work fine.

If this issue is not annoying when working exclusively with DV sources in a DV project, it becomes extremely annoying when working with HDV file in a DV project (or with multimedia project in generally).

Please, can you make this test and tell me if you get or not the same issue.

Thank in advance.

Gilles.
 
I believe the Canopus ADVC110 converter is buffering video for conversion/playback during this time rather than responding on the fly.

If that's the issue with the ADVC110, it should happen whether it's previewing from the timeline or from the trimmer.
 
Many thx for your test.
The Canopus ADVC110 working fine with Vegas4 (TimelIne & Trimmer), I don’t believe this is the problem.
