i was checking out the demo version of vegas video, and i couldn't get to play the video on my ext monitor. I tried my IEE34 and my raptor, and both wouldnt work, although both devices were listed in the menu. I also tried to connect to 3 different cameras. But it works fine with premiere and soundforge.

I don't know exactly what the limitations are in the demo version, but the preview on external monitor work great with the full version of VV 3.0c (You DID turn it on???). I use it exclusively for monitoring my work. I almost never use the preview window on the screen.

Setup: VV3 to Firewire to Deck to TV (note the sound will come out the soundcard during previews - sound only goes out the firewire when using PTT.)

imne was VV 2.0a. The setup is what I use on forge. Will have no problems about the sound coming out from the card, I have 12 wave outs and 14 channels of input.

what's PTT?

the video does stream during recording, right?

PTT = Print To Tape

If you are testing a DEMO, download version 3.0c - the most current version - for demoing purposes. A lot of improvements have been made between versions.
