Scot- I solved it. You must enable video overlay function in the advanced NVidea settings and then select full screen mode. Now I have a full screen output of the program monitor from my VGA out to an InFocus HD projector and it’s fantastic. Now I can edit HDV within PP 2.0 using the Aspect HD plug in and see it up big instead of just on the program monitor on the desktop. This is very important to editors who are confined to seeing just the program output on the small window on their desktop while editing HDV. I’m so happy. Add this to your 30 years of experience. I’m sure it will come up with other users. Thanks again for your help. With your input and Cineforms, we solved it. Larry

Scot- Thanks for your help and suggestions. I have the configuration already in place to pipe the output through my DV-Cam deck to a monitor. That works fine for DV. What I’m trying to do is output the program monitor feed to another flat screen or projector for HDV. Using Aspect HD, there is an option to output the program monitor to another video source in playback settings, but it won’t find my VGA out on my HP. I can drag the program monitor to a second monitor fine, but I’m trying to get full screen playback of the program monitor to the VGA out editing HDV, not DV. I suspect my video card cannot handle it but I have read somewhere that it’s possible. Larry

Thanks Scot but I don’t want to stretch my desktop. I know how to do that. I want to drive a second monitor or projector with just the output of the program monitor so I can see it up bigger. Thanks! Larry

Onroad- I am using the Aspect HD plug in from Cineform within PremierePro 2.0. Under the project menu go to project settings general, then click the playback settings button. The 3rd option from the top is use colorspace BT.709. Unclicking this will revert to Colorspace 601. As soon as I did this, it eliminated that 3-4 second lag when hitting the space bar to run the timeline. Are you doing HD editing or SD? If you’re not running Aspect HD, this option is probably not available. I’ll check to see if you can change this setting without the plug-in and get back to you. Larry1

Check your color space choice in playback settings in the general project settings window. You may need to change the color space from BT.709 to 601. This worked for me. It was driving me crazy until I found it in the PP 2.0 book. Lar

Thanks Steve. Jacob Rosenberg also told me to check the media encoder and make sure audio is not turned off in the render window. Larry

Bill– I’m using a HP Pavillion dv8000t with 2 gigs of ram and the Centrino dual chip at 2.16GHz. It screams! On-line from the HP store, it’s about $2100.00. You can custom configure the drives anyway you want. I’m also running Aspect HD from Cineform and DV Rack from Serious Magic with the HD plug-in which works great. Very stable with no problems. Also check out Boxx. Alienware and 1Beyond, however you will pay about 5k for a similar configuration. I’m very happy with the HP. Larry

Dave- You can order the drives anyway you want from the HP on-line store. One 7200rpm,100gigs– Two 5400rpm, 120 gigs, etc. I’ve found that the speed of the SATA drives let you capture HDV even on the 5400rpm drives with no problem. The best scenario is one internal drive for the OS and app, another drive for the stils, titles and preview files and a third external for your captured footage. I’m also using DV Rack to capture directly to the drive from the camera, eliminating capture from the tape. You also may want to think about XP Professional if you have any problems on your Media Center machine. Hope this helps. Larry

Dave- I’m running PPro 2.0 on a HP Pavilion dv8000 laptop with the Centrino duo chip and 2 gigs of ram. It works great. Very fast and no problems. Also running Aspect HD from Cineform to do HD. Am getting 4 streams in real time. I couldn’t be happier. A full HD video bay on your shoulder! Larry

Try the playback settings tab in the general settings window of the project settings pulldown screen. The third checkbox from the top is HD colorspace. Uncheck this box if it is checked and try your timeline playback again. I was editing footage from a JVC HD10 and this solved the problem. Larry1
