External Monitor feature with DVDA.

Vegas has it. Surely DVDA can have it.

It would be great to see what colors, texts, and so forth look like before having to burn a disk and find out that they just don't look right on a TV.

By the way, BillyBob, did a search under this subject and couldn't find a thing.

So, hopefully, THIS "feature request" doesn't ruffle any feathers.

Without commenting on the future, there's a backdoor way of getting this right now- I use it all the time.

Open Vegas, set it up so you are viewing the windows clipboard in the preview window, engage external monitor. Open DVDA, go to preview mode, copy a frame to clipboard- tab over to Vegas- you'll see this frame on the external monitor.

Once you have this set up (take about 12 secs to configure) you can hop back and forth between DVDA and Vegas (for ext previews)- works fast, looks great, levels are accurate.

Thanks for the interesting workaround.

Hopefully, in the future, it will be possible directly from DVDA and not just a "snapshot" via clipboard.
