Catalyst with iMac

[Curt22]

I don't want to use the iSight. I want to use an external DVD player or the DVD player on the iMac, not a camera. The video input setup goes to the iSight camera and doesn't give me an alternative so I can choose another source for the video input. How do I get to choose the source I want?

The best way to use a DVD is to convert to movie - using something like handbrake software

External DVD players need something like a FireWire to composite video adaptor
These show up only when you plug them in

The interval DVD player is never available due to drm protection- its not usable for 3rd party apps
