This might save you some time. From two days ago:

The prescribed method to get external preview from Vegas is via an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394, aka 'Firewire' card. (Note: not all firewire cards are OHCI compliant.)

The connection is as follows:

OHCI Firewire port > D/A converter > TV

A camcorder with pass-through is commonly used for the D/A, or a dedicated D/A converter can be used. Connection from D/A to TV is typically done using s-video if that option is available.

Only the video signal is sent to external preview, the audio portion is played through the computer's sound card.

JL, do you already have a firewire port on your computer? If so, you need to get yourself a converter to take the digital information (from Vegas) via that firewire from your computer, convert it and pass it along, as analog data, to your monitor (TV). There are other threads here on converter boxes (like Canopus ADVC 100 and ADS PYRO A/V Link). Search SPOT's threads. Good luck.

I output firewire to a Canopus ADVC-100, analog to tv.
