<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Thom,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My son loves to record playbacks of
moves he does in a BMX game he has.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Basically, we hooked one of the video
out ports on the PS2 to the VHS recorder. He then recorded to tape what
he wanted.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've also captured footage off VHS tapes
using my DV camera.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As for recording directly through the
PS2's Firewire port, I don't believe it is designed for that. I doubt the
video is being sent to that port at all. I'm guessing but I agree that
the port is more likely for connecting to other devices or connecting hard
drives for game storage etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So if you have a DV camera either connect
it directly to the PS2 video out ports or to your VHS player (if the footage
is already on tape). Set the camera to play-through mode and connect it
to your Mac via Firewire.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You should then be able to capture the
footage through the camera directly to your Mac.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cheers,</font>

<br>
My daughter needs to import a short segment from a game on her PS2. I
can physically connect the PS2 to her iBook with a Firewire cable, but
when I set iMovie to import, I get a message stating that the camera is
not connected. Is there a way to do what I want to do?<br>
