didn’t even think about going low tech, how funny is that… that might make the video look kinda cheesey though I think.. If I shot them on the computer screen, each one would then become an avi, not a still image?

Ok cool, so leave the 7.5 checkbox unchecked, what about the other, about the RGB color thing?

I postd a link because there are screen shots included and I don’t know how to post screen shots on this forum

anyone know?

Connected the DVC80 instead of the ZR20 and it’s doing the same thing, actually worse with the better camera.
This picture below shows that the external preview correctly displays when not playing.

Edward,
not sure what daisy chaining means but I don’t think I am.. It’s a 3 port firewire card. The camera (Canon ZR-20 that I use for capturing so to not wear out the heads on my Pana DVC80 is plugged into one port, the hard drive (Western Digital 120GB external) in another port. I have NOT tried it with the other camera, but that sounds like a darn good test which I will try today and let you know…Funny thing to note is that I can capture tape just fine, it’s just that external preview that is giving me the fits… -
Yes, When my media on the timeline is on the firewire hard drive that is connected to the firewire card, as well as the video cam that is connected to the firewire card, when I enable the external preview and hit play, the video becomes intermittent (on again, off again), there isn’t a constant signal being sent to the camera while the hard drive is being accessed. That’s the best way I can describe it other than taking an actual video of what happens to show you…Basically it goes from the video for a second or so, to the blue screen of the camera, back and forth like that. It’s really hard to put into words, trying my best heh…

yeah well, they want quicktime and wmv, I don’t have a say in it really,,, if it were me, i’d use flash, but this is what they want…

I don’t remember, but I put the audio format on qualcomm purevoice (since it’s only voice in the sound) but I changed it again, same format but different sample rate and it seems to have fixed it. Where should I ideally put the quality slider for the video tab (for dialup and broadband), under compressed depth, it only gives me one option, 24bpp color, I have pixel aspect ratio on 1.000, field order on None, frame rate at 29.97,,, what is the box at the bottom that says “natural only” – should that be checked?
Also, for the project settings, should I put it on good or best? I read that for mpg2, best doesn’t show a noticeable improvement, but maybe it does for quicktime?
