[Resolved] Help needed fast! No video on external display

Post by Rolf Paulsen » Sat Jan 19, 2013 4:22 am

Hello!
I hope someone can help me with this!
Tomorrow morning we have a huge rehersal.
Ive set up every song with backingtracks, clicktrack and videos.
I did see a small window with the video when i made the show with a numer 2 at the top.
Now, when ive connected the projector it doesent show the video. I can see the extended desktop
when im not using SCS. When i start SCS the screen goes black. But when i play the cues, nothing
shows up.
What can it be??
Please help

Regard
Rolf P

I've testet it on an old computer now, and it worked :)
So i'm saved for tomorrow. It must be an codec problem.
Ive installed K-lite on it, but i guess i have to install some other codec-packs too?

Rolf,

Try changing the video driver settings as suggested in this post:

I have just had the same problem as you and this solved it for me.

Only changing video render did not work for me.
My solution for this was to install the SAF 6 codec pack (http://hobring.esero.net/saf/binary/saf619.exe)
and then set the video render to VMR-7 Windowed
http://hobring.esero.net/saf/binary/

This is a codec pack thats aimed at HTPC for HD/blu-ray playback and stuff like that, but it was allso my solution for scs :)
I dont know why :)
