• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    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.

Gday,
Does anyone know how I can simply use my 'book as a monitor with my HD camera?
I am filming my son's tennis matches for instant review and when I use imovie it takes forever to import the HD content (not to mention using up my hard drive).
I would like to simply use the 'book as a monitor so he can quickly review his previous match before he goes back on court for his next one.
I use a Sony HDR-HC1E.
Thanks.

This is not possible to do with the PowerBook.
You would need to purchase a monitor for this.
