    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • 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.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Streaming video online using Canon HV20

I work at a church and we are currently preparing for the funeral of a prominent figure here in Oklahoma and need to prepare for an overflow during the service.

I am trying to figure out a way to stream the video of the service online using a Canon HV20 camcorder. I can open the camera in iMovie using firewire and see what I am filming on the screen. However, I cannot open the camera in iChat or Quicktime Broadcaster. The computer does not recognize it and gives me the iSight as my only option.

I would like to use justin.tv or ustream.tv but when I go there and attempt to broadcast, it does not recognize the camera.

Any ideas?

Do those tools support HDV? If the camera has the option, set it to standard definition mode and try it again.
