• 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.

External cam to display ereaders on screen

I tried searching but I'm not sure my keywords came up with anything so if this has already been address I do apologize - please just point me in the right direction.

Here is what I'd like to do and I hope someone here can help me achieve it.

I'm teaching a class at a public library on eReaders (one will be the iPad). Since the class will be large I want to use a web cam (or something else) to capture what I'm doing on the different eReaders and project it onto the screen. I've tried an external web cam but VLC wouldn't work on the Macbook. I then tried the web cam on our Mac-mini using iChat. Which uses a rather small window (I'd like to have it take up the full screen) plus the wording on the eReaders is of course backwards.

Is there anything I can use on a MacBook or Mac-Mini that will allow an external source project what I'm doing on an eReader onto a screen. I need suggestions and keep in mind that we are a public library with very limited funding.

Hope this makes sense and thank you in advance for any help.

Beth
