im trying to play games on my imac C2D using a dazzle hollywood dv bridge, but i dont know which software to use. is this even possible to do? i dont want to spend money on a new tv or other things. thanks!

EDIT: okay, so i tried imovie and previewed the window until the game got started, and there was a buzzing noise in the background the whole time, and i couldn't do a full screen preview. i also tried btv, and it wouldn't even read my dv bridge. is there anything else?

EDIT 2: i fixed the buzzing noise in imovie, i just need to get it fullscreen. is there a way?
 
Wait, you're trying to play video games on your iMac utilizing a analog to dv converter??
 
What do you mean as in "Play"? As in playing back video game footage captured? Or as in actually playing a video game on your computer? Do you have a console hooked up to the analog dv converter that you're trying to have displayed on your iMac screen?? Be a little more specific.
 
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess you want to hook up a console to your iMac which is why you don't want to purchase a tv. You'll need:

I highly doubt that analog to dv converter will work.

yeah, thats what i want to do, i was looking at that. i guess ill have to buy it. :(
does anybody have it and can you tell me if there's zero latency and does it work fine?
