I have since found other sufferers out there who have similar problems to mine. There seems to be an issue with the FX540 and Aspect HD. No answers yet.

I have found out that the regular HDV codec and the CineForm RT codec do handle output to external sources differently.

I’m open to any crazy ideas.

After an uninstall/reinstall of Aspect no change. I did a complete uninstall too, cleaned the registry etc.

When I use the HDV playback setting I can get to a dialog box that says playback on external monitor.

With the CineForm RT playback I don’t see that setting. I see a Scrub Video To External Source check box. Checking it does nothing. Am I missing a setting buried somewhere?

Hi Tim:

Thanks for your curiosity. The problem is simple to repro:

If I use any of the HDV preset that comes witn 1.5.1 I see the image on my HD monitor.

If I use any of the Aspect HD presets I do not.

I’m going to try an uninstall and re-install of Aspect and will report back.

I thought I solved it. But I didn’t. It seems that the CineForm RT codec just won’t output to any 2nd monitor; either VGA or HD Component. The regular HDV codec will.

Any help is appreciated. I’d like to have RT and HD!

Never mind. Figured it out.

No. It loads as if I never rendered.
