Is it possible to use an secondary monitor for checking interlaced video rather than burning to DVD? If so, I could save a fortune in discs - my Panasonic DVD player doesn't like DVD+RW's!
I have a TV enabled as a second screen. It doesn't have an S video port, so it's connected via Video In to the PC's S-Video out. An earlier post suggested that S-Video is only for progressive scan. Is this the case? If it is, how can I get around it?
I have an Imation IMWDVRW16LI burner and a GE Force 6600 GT video card.
Thanks,
Steve.

S-Video is NOT progressive scan. That should be a good choice for you. I'd have to look-up the details.... I think it has separated chroma and luminance. I have an older big-screen TV with S-Video input... That old TV doesn't have a clue what progressive scan is!

Hi,
Nice VideoCard.
The only way to send a progressive scanning signal from your video card is
you must use the RGB (The 3 analog rgb rca connectors on the external interface block). Then configure the software
to a progressive setting such as 480p, 720p .
You need a HDTV to do this will the 3-rgb analog inputs.
(Actually with the latest Nvidia drivers you can also connect directly to a dvi port on a HDTV and use it). Need the correct dvi cable.
The card your using is putting out a "Interlaced" signal BOTH on the composite
AND on the S-Video terminals. Although according to the instuctions I don't think your supposed to have both connected at the sametime.
To enable a TV connected to your video card using the Nvidia 6600GT and use it in VS 8/9/10:
Goto your Display Properties and click on advanced to get to the NVidia's
Start -> Settings -> control panel -> Display ->Settings->Advanced->GeForce 6600GT
Enable "Dual-View" Mode & select the TV as the secondary device.
Then ((lower down in the selections menu (left-side))
Find "Full Screen Video" and set "Full screen device" to "Auto-Select"
Close and save etc.
Then run VideoStudio goto Preferences (F6)key.
Under the General Tab set the "Instant Playback target" to "Dual Head Device".
Click "OK" and your set
NVidia related settings:
Whatever device you have connected as the secondary device in "DUAL-VIEW" Mode will play full-screen.
DO NOT SELECT "HORIZONTAL SPANNING" (da!!)
Hope this helps,
MD
