Is an external monitor worth using with EditDV?
Another EditDV-specific question Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Okay, that was perhaps too simplistic an answer. Playback of video on the onscreen window is generally jerky, slow and poor quality. You’ll be a lot happier if you attach an external video monitor to your camera, connected to your system via the FireWire port. That will give you the clear, crisp video you always wanted – even during editing.
