I think it would be silly for the driver to provide scanmodes that the card didn’t support, wouldn’t you agree?
The driver allows me to choose 2560 by 1600 for both monitors (if I have both monitors able to support the rate) and that’s 4 mp per display. There is 640MB of display buffer RAM, so even at 32-bit color, this is a pittance for this card to display.And I should note that in CloneView mode, I get the full resolution out of BOTH monitors.
It is just Premiere Pro CS3 that seems to be doubling the lines, as if a deinterlace filter were automatically applied. (It took a while to discover the cause of jaggies on rendered video from MainConcept’s CODEC because that deinterlace option is on by default–turning it off rendered full vertical resolution MPEG2 streams). Unfortunately, I can’t find any ‘deinterlace’ second monitor option to turn off.

I tried 58, 59 and 60Hz refresh on the 2nd port, all to no effect on the vertical resolution.
Port 1 is running at an incompatible resolution to the Viz, so swapping the connectors probably would not play nice with the monitors. What I did have in mind was using the nVidia control panel to swap the Viz for the HP as far as functions go and see what happens.. however, we’re in the middle of a rather intense project and so playing with this will have to wait a few days…..

I made a very significant discovery this evening:
Not ALL clips are rejected by Scenarist. Some of them are “ok” on import. That was the first clue.
What nailed it for me was the fact that I worked on a menu in AfterEffects and used the MC encoder to export it for the DVD. I previously had exported an audio track of the same ROOT filename. The AE project has no audio in it, so I know there will be silence.. or will there?
Lo and behold, when I played the resulting m2v file in Media Player, I heard MUSIC! Now I was REALLY about ready to hang up my stylus and go check into the loony bin. I knew there was no audio in the particular m2v file, so I looked around and found the audio wav file of the music I had exported earlier. It has the same ROOT name as the m2v. So it dawned on me what was happening: Media Player is a slick little number–it can play TWO media files AT THE SAME TIME! It was playing the m2v file, but it was being “smart” and it also looked for an audio file with the same name and played that file SIMULTANEOUSLY with the m2v file, causing me to assume that the m2v somehow contained audio! It did not, in fact.
This whole mystery seems to be solved! I found some export settings that work, and Scenarist seems to be happy with the files now. Plus, Premiere can export both m2v and wav at the same time, in one export operation, so I have files ready to import into Scenarist in one easy step. Productivity is now forging ahead at full steam.

There is a resolution issue with v1.5 and Still titles.
If you create a still title, it will render at somewhat reduced resolution, looking jagged and fuzzy.My workaround was to switch the title type to Roll and keep it shorter than a page so it remains still. Premiere Pro 1.5 will render it out at dramatically better resolution and clarity.

I doubt CCE has anything to do with it. It seems to be a new problem related to CS3. The old 1.5 version always exported only what I explicitly instructed it to export.
CS3 exports an m2v that is really a program stream, not an elemental video file. And when, for kicks, I told it to export audio as well as video, it exported two files–a m2v (with sound) and a WAV file (sound only).
Out of a dozen trials exporting m2v, only ONE produced an m2v that had no audio. It seems to be a random seed that is causing CS3 to export sound most of the time. Multiple renders, with the SAME settings, result in varying results (11/12 files rendered had audio, one did not).
Still scratching my head over this one…

I’m using a DVI > HDMI cable and driving the monitor at 1080P.
I can’t understand why I’m getting “540P” on the monitor because of this.Take care,

Yes, video quality on the program monitor is set to high. If I set it to Draft, it looks like a YouTube video on the 47″ monitor.
What else should I check?Take care,

I know this is NOT a Scenarist issue, because the the stream has audio in it and it hasn’t even been touched by Scenarist yet. I can verify the problem by opening the m2v file in Media player. It has audio in it when it should not. Scenarist doesn’t expect audio on an elemental video file, so it rejects the files made by Premiere Pro CS3.
Even weirder is the fact that when I use the export video from timeline function and use CinemaCraft to encode m2v, I also am getting audio in the m2v files IT creates. So Media Encoder and CinemaCraft both are getting audio streams sent in the package when audio is explicitly NOT wanted.
Encore may not have a problem with audio in the m2v, but Scenarist makes output that is 100% compliant with the DVD spec and will reject any MPEG2 files that don’t fit within narrow tolerances.
We’ve been accustomed to Premiere Pro 1.5 for a few years and never had this issue in 1.5. It seems to be a bug in CS3.

AE CS3 can. I’ve heard from an associate that an earlier version cannot. We work with m2t files in AE CS3 quite often.
