Having trouble playing back clips in AVID Xpress DV 4.6 - The clips capture fine, I can shuttle through them fast and the system keeps up. However when I just try and play the clips I can hear the audio playing but no video playing. When I stop it the clip updates to the right frame. Seems I'm just overlooking some simple setting somewhere. Any help would be appreciated. -Jeff

Are you saying the monitor window is on a freeze frame? Or Blank? IS the track with the video SELECTED (The little monitor icon will show on it).

What a coincidence, I'm having exactly the same problem. I hear the audio but the footage stays still.

are you running dual monitors? try moving the video window onto the other monitor.

Only have a single monitor, video clip windows are not overlapped. Everything in the timeline is selected properly. I search over AVIDs site and was not able to find a solution. I may just trying re-installing the application to see what happens.

If I uninstall AVID will it delete my project and media I have saved?

Thanks!

Found out if I just updated my video card with the latest drivers the problem went away. Video plays fine. Realtime with no delay.

Thru the whole process I tried re-installing AVID and did all the Windows XP Home updates possible. All settings in AVID Xpress DV are set at default.

The system specs were:
AMD Athlon +2500
1GB DDR 2700 Ram
80 Gig Hard Drive 7200rpm for media
AGP 8x nVidia 5200 fx video card
Sony CD-Burner
Abit Motherboard
On-Board AC-97 sound card

Things are running smooth now. Thanks.
