Delay on playing back on reference monitor
A customer has a delay when he plays his DV project on his reference monitor, where he play the DV out via firewire to a VCR machine, that is connected to the reference monitor via a S-Video cable.
He has de-activated the overlay function, so there aren’t any playback at the computer monitor, and he has also tried to use a camcorder to playback through, but no difference.
Normally this works fine, so I’m a bit confused. The CPU is a HP Workstation with 2 GB RAM, and a separate HD to the mediafiles. -

If the audio is coming out of the computer speakers, then it’s a delay that’s pretty common with sending the video by itself through firewire.
The delay is usually created by the DV to analog converter inside the VCR. A workaround is to set Premiere to send the audio through firewire as well and hook up speakers or headphones to the VCR deck itself. That problem can be more or less pronounced depending on the CPU.

He could try using the SP1 system file (msdv.sys).
The SP2 version causes this issue in my system.

Video and audio are both going out via firewire, and there are no sync problem, but “only” a delay, so when he stops the video on an exact frame in a new sequence, the timemarker are several frames in the sequence.
