I've been a user from the old DVrack through HD to OL CS3. I purchased Production Premium CS4 and loaded the new version on the same laptop and it gives me a greenish negative monitor that pulses. As soon as the camera is recognized, the vectorscope and level display disappear and the green video starts pulsing. Half of the time, the program crashes within 5 seconds after the camera is recognized. Tried my Canon XH A1 and my JVC HD100 - same results. CS4 ID's camera correctly.
I've downloaded the latest ATI driver for my HP zv5000 and reloaded CS4 but no difference. Very weird - CS3 still works fine.

The Mobility Radeon 9000 is below spec for CS4, which requires PixelShader 2.0. As part of porting to Mac for CS4, we had to re-architect how video is displayed, which introduced the PixelShader dependency.

Hi Mark,
Not the answer I wanted but a perfectly clear explanation that makes sense. Guess I'm off to the store to go shopping. Thanks for the continued excellent support and answers - going back to the old days at SM ;-)

Just for closure on this one, Mark was (as usual) dead on. I just picked up an Asus G51VX with an Nvidia w/1G graphics card and loaded CS4. Sweet. Runs extremely well. No more latency than I'm used to. Nice work, Mark.
