Print to Video

I am editing in Final Cut Studio 2. I am having issues printing to video.

Once I begin recording, the video image disappears and the deck only records the audio portion.

I can monitor the timeline on the external deck monitor, but I can't record directly from the timeline or utilize the print to video command. Both methods yield the same result - a tape that includes only the audio portion of my project.

I made the timeline a self-contained Quicktime movie and tried to "edit to tape" and could not get a video image here either.

In the edit to tape and print to video methods, I can see the color bars/slate/countdown and video on the computer screen, but the external monitor only shows a black screen.

Any ideas on how to get past this problem? I need to dump to tape to meet a deadline.

I have the output settings correctly set to Firewire NTSC and have tried exporting with and without the checkbox checked on the "different settings for print to video/edit to tape".

Any help would be appreciated,
Jen
