I play SOCOM3 online on the PS2 and have seen some cool video of game play. I'd like to be able to capture some of the game play on my Mac but have failed to find softwear that will enable me to do it. I understand others have captured video on their PC so I hoped I could do the same on a Mac.

I have a cable that plugs into the PS2 and goes to a device called a Dazzle Digital Video Creator. It is intended for use on a Windows OS but it was a gift so I'm trying to ue it. The devise accept S video and L & R audio as input and outputs to a USB connection.

The Apple softwear seems to only accept a feed via the firewire ports and not the USB ports so it doesn't recognise the connection. I've entered a Google search and tried several packages but none work.

Am I trying to make something work that is not supposed to work? Any recomendations regarding the devise and any softwear I might look at?

I have an iMac G5 with 1 Gb of RAM running OS 10.4.7

Thanks in advance for your advise

Tried that one but it produces an error message to the effect there is no device attached or there is a driver missing. No ide what to do, checked all the connections.

Thanks for your help ... maybe I need to buy a PC

It'd be cheaper to get something from Elgato, and then you'd have a TiVo in your mac, too.

That would work fine, as long as you get one either the eyeTV EZ, 250 or Hybrid. You want a tuner with no hardware compression (or that comes with a no-compression mode) because that causes a good bit of latency. Latency = bad gameplay.
