That's what I'm looking for so I can reset the AppleVideo Player to use by default the RasterOps AV card instead of the built-in one, as Apple's Video Player application is way easier to use than the tools provided by RasterOps. If I'm on the wrong track let me know, especially if there is a guidline or tips on using RasterOps AV cards since from what I can see it's not easy. :(

This is a quote from the readme on the RasterOps Video Software:

"The RasterOps extensions will have no effect if there are no RasterOps boards found in your Macintosh. The video digitizer contains a 'vdig' CODE resource that controls all of the above-mentioned RasterOps boards. When the machine boots, the vdig extension will search NuBus slots 1-14 for available RasterOps boards. It will register a 'vdig' component for each board found. You can use Apple's Things! control panel to check vdig registration.

The Component Manager always maintains a "default" component of a certain type. For vdig's, this is typically the last 'vdig' component registered. RasterOps registers vdig's in reverse slot order. For example, if you have a 364 in slot 10, and a 24STV in slot 11, the 364 will be the default vdig after system startup. The default component is often the first component used by certain applications, e.g., MoviePlayer from Apple. If you have Apple's Things! control panel you can set the default vdig and re-launch the application."

Have you considered using Video Monitor Pro?

It has good options for selecting graphics, sound source & lots of other things.

Sounds useful, does it also control sound resources? ???
