  found this somewhere else:

  Sony has released updated versions of both Vegas Pro and DVD Architect Pro.

  There appears to be a boatload of bug fixes applied to the new Vegas Pro v8.0b.

  Thanks for the updates on both Sony Vegas pro 8 and DVD A.

  I noticed on the download page that there is a “Vegas Pro update 1.0b”.

  What is this? Do I need it as well.

  Cheers Craig

  You definitely don’t need this one.
  Vegas Pro 1.0b was the very first version of Vegas and was an audio-only app.

  I have updated DVD-A to 4.5b and still my EXT preview device is’nt working. I only have 1 option in the drop down box on the option tab – “OHCI compliant IEEE 1394/DV”

  It works fine in Sony Vegas pro 8.

  Is there something else I need to do?

  Craig, how are you doing this in Vegas?
  What are you using for an external monitor?
  Are you trying to do this at the same time as Vegas is running?

  In Vegas I select external monitor and it works 100%.

  In DVD-A I select “Options” – Preview on external monitor.
  I click on the “Video Device” tab. I only get “OHCI……” option.

  I am not using them at the same time.
  1st monitor is a 37″ LCD BenQ flat monitor, the secondary monitor is an LG 19″ wide LCD.

  Cheers Craig

  Craig, I stand to be corrected but I think the external monitor feature in DVD Architect is for an external video monitor only.
  I went through the DVDA 4.5 manual and that’s the only external monitor reference I could find.

  I don’t think so. According to the release notes this bug was addressed in the 4.5a update.

  But that doesn’t say if they’re talking about a computer external monitor or a video external monitor.
  As I said, I searched the DVDA 4.5 manual and could not find any reference to the use of a computer external monitor, only a video one.

  Mike is correct, the video output is for a Standard Definition display, over 1394 only. It cannot route to a secondary monitor. You can put the screen on a second monitor during the editing/timeline view, however.
