PP 2.0 does run on a Mac if it's set up as a dual boot system and you run the Windows version of the software in the Windows XP environment. The software works perfectly in every respect except that I can't see any video on an external monitor through a firewire device, such as a camcorder.

And with all due respect, I'd like to find out if I'm just having a driver or setup issue with the built in firewire, and stay away from the idea that it doesn't work just because it's a Mac. I've used several platforms in the 20+ years I've been in video production, and the issues I've had have rarely been with the OS I'm working in, but more with certain features in whichever editing software I used. I try to stay away from the whole Mac/PC debate.

So yes, I am using a Mac, but PP 2.0 is running purely in a Windows XP environment, using a 24" flat screen, a Western Digital hard drive, a Pioneer DVD drive, an nVidia graphics card, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 host controller using Microsoft drivers.

Based on this further info, can anyone think of something that might help fix the problem I'm having?

Thanks
