    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.

Does anyone know how I can use 2 firewire camcorders on a mac?

I want to be able to switch between the two cams so I can show different angles in a live webcam type stream.

I've seen the Belkin Firewire Hub and wonder if this will work.

I know it enables multiple camcorders to be plugged into my mac, but how would I switch scenes..... live?

Thanks

What programme would you be using for the live webcam? You might be able to select the video input on the programme.
