Anyone know why a video would playback fine on the pd150 LCD, but the video outs are noisy and B&W?

If you are coming out with S-Video, then the answer is the connector or the cable is bad as you are only getting the luminance signal, not the chrominance signal.

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike.

Actually I finally figured out that the Producer, who swore up and down the footage was NTSC, was wrong. The footage he sent me was PAL.

Once I switched the deck to PAL, all is good.

Thanks again.
