[Fmpro] Jezz, can I ask a question about something other than ASCAP or Union

[Jeremy Delamarter]

Hey Les -

  I agree with Claude. Rip the DVD and convert it. I even import VHS and 
make quicktimes out of them as well. The breakout boxes to export the 
quicktime to an external monitor are fairly cheap (around $150 for mine), 
and I've NEVER had a problem with it. Just make sure that you convert it to 
the proper quicktime format. Check your software to make sure. DP requires a 
certain format if you want to view it on a seperate monitor (can't remember 
what it is off the top of my head. Something like DV/PRO, but don't quote me 
on that. I've got it set up to automatically convert to the proper format so 
I don't have to think about it). If you just want to view it as a window on 
your desktop the format doesn't really matter as long as it's quicktime.
