    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Okay here's the sitch:

New apartment...it's kinda small...I work in the line of Video audio production and also enjoy gaming in my free time.

I recently bought an ADVC110 to convert my collection of analog video to digital.

Now I can't fit a TV anywhere in my apartment but with the ADCV110 I could essentially use my mac as a screen to play my old Snes games or probably even my Xbox360.

I tested this hypothesis by opening Final cut and bringing up the capture screen. IT WORKED!...kind of. ;P

No sound and it seemed like there was a small lag...not sure.

My question is:

Is there a program that would just display the feed (both audio and visual) from my ADVC110 (which is essentially a firewire device) so that I could essentially plug any RCA friendly compnent IE my snes etc. and play it? Please help! :(
