  Screen Spanning Doctor

  Posted by Kyle Rarey on June 18, 2006 at 8:49 pm

  Hi there, folks

  Has anybody here had any experience with using Screen Spanning Doctor <https://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html> on a 14″ iBook G4 (1.33 GhZ) with Final Cut Pro to attain larger resolutions on external monitors?

  I understand it splits your available video memory in half to disable video mirroring..does that have much of an adverse effect on FCP?

  Buying a PowerBook/MacBook Pro would likely be the best solution, but unfortunately it’s just not financially in the cards at the moment.

  Thanks,
  -Kyle

  I personally wouldn’t do it, due to the fact that there is a distinct possibility that you’ll damage your computer…

  It may effect fcp if it splits your video ram, esp. if you do RT and HD stuff, in fact if I recall you have to have 32mb or vram for FCP to run…
