Firewire to your camera/deck/convertor (whatever you have that will pass-thru the signal) and RCA or S-Video to the TV

You might also want to try this. Pretty funky but handy. I have several tape decks two of which have a 1394 in. I cascade the decks using RCA jacks so I can make many tapes at the same time of course. On the last deck in the chain, I use the cable out to the cable in of my TV. Sounds harder than it is and I get to use my monitor and also see what I'm printing to tape in realtime. Just a thought.

i've posted to this forum many times regarding this topic, looking for help, and i'm still having problems with my setup.

i intend on purchasing a converter, but until i get my little problem worked out, i am previewing on the flip-out monitor on my US version GL-1 from my SIIG firewire card.

to fend off the obvious responses, i have "recompress frames" checked, have the correct device checked in the "video device" preferences, and i'm using the Microsoft OHCI firewire driver.

the problem begins when i play from the timeline. i briefly get a video image, then it quickly degrades into a blocky mess, then i get the blue screen.

i've even tried different firewire cards to no avail.

help!

I do the same thing as ggp: 1394 from the computer to the camcorder; analog (S-video) from the camcorder to a SVHS pro VCR; and then S-video to the monitor. Most clients still want VHS tape, so I run the VCR while printing back to DV.
