I just upgraded to the new BrightAuthor 2.3.0.57. Are custom Autoruns that were used with BrightAuthor 2.2.0.39 compatible with the new version? With 2.2.0.39 I had a custom autorun that would display composite out of the blue connector on the component connection as well as play music from a music folder during images in a video zone, but the music would stop if a video played. Currently with the new BrightAuthor 2.3.0.57 I can have an audio zone that will cycle through the playlist, but unfortuantly it won't play a video in the video zone at the same time, just images. Any Suggestions?

  No, you can't use the old custom autorun.
  
  Making the change to support ntsc is easy. Adding the other stuff is much more involved, I'd suggest making your main looping zone and your audio zone interactive so that you can listen for linkzones command in the audio zone, and then use linkzones commands sent from the main zone to either start your playlist or specific one file to play. The only thing that might need some tinkering is getting the audio to stop.

  'mod -ntsc support instead of 480p
if ucase(sign.videomode$)="720X480X60P" then sign.videomode$="NTSC-M"
  
  
  If you search for the newsign function, you can add the line above right above these lines:
  
     videoMode = CreateObject("roVideoMode")
   ok = videoMode.SetMode(Sign.videoMode$)
  
  That will give you the composite out when you select 720x480 for your video resolution in brightauthor.

  Thanks Lyndon,
   I've got the composite working.
