I recently bought a second 160Gb HDD for my Mac and decided to set up a RAID 0 array with the original drive to try and gain some speed when using FCP HD. Needless to say this required a format of the system drive....

SOOOooo after spending two days backing all my data onto a (hardly used since the purchase of my G5) PC I took the plunge and formatted the drive, set up a RAID 0 array and reinstalled OS X.

Unfortunately when I have reinstalled FCP HD the "Digital Cinema Desktop" option that I used to use to preview my work on a TV via SVHS from the Radeon 9800 Pro is no longer there

Apples support forums say that this option has disappeared for PCI cards and remains only for AGP cards but I can't find it anywhere since the format/reinstall. I've tried trashing the FCP prefs and restarting to no effect.

Does anyone have any ideas where it has gone?

TIA

Just a guess, but I'd make sure that your NTSC monitor is working as a second monitor first.

It's actually a PAL TV....

It's working fine as a second monitor, no problems at all.

The "Digital Cinema Desktop" option seems to have totally disappeared from FCP HD. I can't find it anywhere
