size of picture pushed thru DVI port

[Fritz]

I'd been using HackTV and Canopus ADVC100 to capture picture and push thru G4 pbook FW to an ext monitor with my HD rig. All is fine there.

The picture usually comes to me as a file from Avid edit along with an OMF.
But sometimes, I go capture it in real time.

In order to try LE as a post system, I'd like to push the video out the DVI port by dragging to the ext screen. Thus far, the picture is too small for the producers. Are there settings or perhaps I should use QTPro for capture to get a 15" full screen image?

But I'm trying to reconfigure the rig to make it lighter and less expensive for the client (who of course suffers from too much $; none the less).

it may be i'm not reading you right - but here's what i do, and it works pretty well. I use two 19" flatpanel lcd Neovo monitors, and so i can use full screen video on one of them I simply put the quicktime DV movie on the second screen and set the screen resolution for that monitor to 800x670 (or something like that). I have tried it using both a dvi and the svga sockets ( and even with a dvi-svga adapter, works as well whichever way.

I used this method on a LE system for two years and am continuing to use it on a HD and it works perfectly well and there are no sync issues either.

The quicktime pro key is a definte musthave anyway, and you don't need to capture at a higher resolution. Because your monitor has a much higher res than video signals have, you simply use QTPro to enlarge the movie window to the size you prefer and then save the movie. You get a much bigger movie file and will need to take that into account. My other method works a lot more efficiently.

K, simple enough idea. I'll give that a shot. Thanks,
