Does anyone else have problems previewing mpg files on external monitor set to secondary windows display? Vegas 6c hangs for me when previewing MPG (mpeg2) files with external display set to secondary windows display.
I recently made a clean install of V6c and finally Media Manager worked fine. I use External Preview to secondary display, which works great to quickly show bunches of DV clips to a group of people, using Media Manager. A neighbor just gave me an 8cm DVD from her Sony Camcorder, to try burning over to a regular DVD. The Vegas File>Import>DVD Camcorder Disc worked fine. The mpg files previewed fine in regular preview window, and could be added to the timeline. When I turned on external preview to secondary monitor, and clicked on one of the mpg files in Explorer or Project Media, Vegas hung. I had to reboot, and the same thing happened repeatedly. Also on mpg (mpeg2) files rendered by Vegas.
When Vegas hangs, Task Manager shows it as not responding, but apparently not using any CPU. I could removed the Vegas app, but the Vegas60.exe process could not be removed. I had to reboot.
After several reboots and reattempts, I found that I could external preview the first mpg file fine from Media Manager, but clicking on the next mpg file then caused Vegas to hang. My setup is listed below. Does anyone else have this problem, or a likely solution? Meanwhile, I'll avoid the external preview on my mpg's.
