FOLLOWUP…I just realized that the input is stopping even without it being on record…just the preview as the vhs is running. The actual vhs playback on my tv monitor looks fine, no delays, but the monitor on vegas preview when the signal is coming in is stopping then starting again, even though the vhs monitor is fine. ???

I see what the problem is. I am using DVDA-1.0 and your instructions are for DVDA-4.3. I don’t do a lot with DVD’s so I just always use DVDA-1 even after I upgraded from Vegas 4 to Vegas 7, and it doesn’t appear to have that same setup. I do have v4.0 and when I opened that it has the area you are talking about. I guess I will have to play with version 4 for a while and figure it out since v-1 doesn’t seem to do the same thing. I really appreciate your patience and help Edward. Have a gret week!

Hi Edward, thanks for trying to help. From the main screen where I built the menu, if I double click the movie I get something labeled “media properties” to the right, that has video and audio lookup boxes. If I go back to the main screen I created and click once on the movie I get an object and a page properties button. On object properties I get a thumbnail sectin with a lookup box, thumbnail start time, animate thumbnail, object frame, enable frame (checked) and link information with a modify box. The page properites button shows background video/image, background audio, highliting style and menu length. I must not be doing something right?

I have looked for “end action” and can’t find anything like that. I see in and out pointers, and start chapter. I have tried the help files for anything like continuous play of the one video but no luck. If it wouldn’t be too much trouble could you walk me through the process? The clients dvd player probably does have a repeat function but I’m not sure they want to try to find it. Thanks

[Michael O’connor]

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.

[Michael O’connor]

Great! Thanks for letting me know and fixing it. Have a great weekend.

Doing something wrong. I can drag the monitor or the media pool or transitions to the second screen, but I can’t seem to make the time line cross over so it extends to both the first and second monitors. Is this not possible? When I try to grab in the lower right hand corner of the time line (the area where the zoom tools are) it doesn’t do anything except increase the timeline on the first monitor.

Figured out the monitor…sort of. I have the second one showing the desktop, then I can drag the preview monitor over to the second screen ok….how do you extend the timeline so it goes out into the second screen? Thanks.
