I am having issues trying to play my ime line through an external monitor. I am using a Sony DVMC DA1 convertor to a monitor but for some reason the video signal is not coming through through the FW cable. I have tested it multiple times through 3 cameras. I went to file>AV settings and clicked the video playback to apple FW ntsc and on the devices tab checked off mirror playback, but nothing. Am I missing a step here somewhere? I have had issues for years with various versions of FCP with sporadic external video playback and just trying to figure this out. I have tried it on 2 different machines as well. A 12 inch 1.5 PB running FCP 4.5 and a Quad G5 running FCP 5.4. Thanks.

I've got the same device. I don't have FCP but I can tell you that it no longer works with iMovie since iMovie version 4. I've asked Apple to please fix this but to no avail.

Thanks, it's driving me nuts. Not sure if it's my quad or a software issue. This machine has been real finiky about RAM too. On round three from OWC.

BTW, love the qoute, got quite a chuckle out of that.
