Hi all,
I am having difficulty getting preview to run smoothly when using external monitor.
I have just finished building a new computer, with a 2.4g P4, 1 gig of memory using an Asus P4PE mother board. I have another computer which runs both Vegas3 and Vegas4 smoothly but is a little slower rendering (a dual p3 933) The new pc renders twice as fast,but it wont preview to an external monitor without skipping a frame every second or so.
When previewing on the computer screen it's OK, and the rate is 29.97, soon after
switching to external the rate drops to 28.xx frames (varies) and the preview is glitchy.
This occurs both in VV3 and V4
The hard drive is separate from the system drive and is a Maxtor Ata 133 and runs rextest at 54 mb/sec both read and write, so I don't think drive speed is the cause. It is set to UDMA 5 According to the bios. I thought it might be caused by the internal 1394 interface, so I disabled that and tried a separate pci card- no change.
I am running out of ideas, can any one help?
I have tried to make sure that the settings are the same for capture and preview, and I am doing a simple preview from the time line, no FX or anything.
Both the old pc and the new are hooked to a Lan, and temporarily disabling the Lan
makes no difference. I tried copying the clip from the new m/c to the old and it
runs fine.
I have been fighting this for quite a while now and I think I am starting to go around in circles. Can someone give me some new ideas?
Warren
