• 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.

I have a Sony HDV-V1U with an HDMI port on it. I bought an HDMI cable that had a DVI connector on the other end. I tried plugging the HDMI into my camera and the DVI into my MacBook Pro to use my computer as a monitor. I turned on the camera and nothing happened.

Can I use my macbook pro as a monitor with that cable or any configuration of cables?
