Curious problem with Vaio (ATI Rage Mobility) and Pinnacle Studio 8
First I should say that I haven't verified this with my own eyes. I'm trying to help someone 170 miles away to render a video. A friend is trying to edit video down to VHS tape using a Sony Vaio, Pinnacle Studio 8 and the Pinnacle Linx. The Vaio, he says, is a PCG933A, which, I have read, is equivalent to a PCGF650. The manual says this machine has a Rage Mobility chipset with 8mb sdram. The Vaio has a composite video out, and he's running that and the audio out to his VCR. He has the video captured and edited, he just can't get it out to tape. He says that the VCR sees whatever is on the laptop screen, so he seems to have the cables set up properly. But when he chooses "vga device" as the video out device in Studio 8, the video plays on the laptop screen but the VCR sees "frames and frames of blackness". I don't see how this is possible, unless Studio is somehow disabling the composite out. If for some reason this is what is happening, (how?) would a tool like tvtool help? Any and all help would be appreciated. He's extremely frustrated, to the point where he's about to perform "vigorous preemptive maintenance" on the laptop.
