    I have a Sony DCR-TRV120 DV camera hooked up to my computer via 1394 firewire, and have been capturing home videos with it. However currently the only way I know to view the streaming firewire video on my computer is to use Adobe Premier, which you can only have about 1/3 the screen full of video. IS there anyway to play Streaming DV video fullscreen? I'm using an ATI Radeon 9700

    Wow, I'm surprised nobody has an answer to this. I REALLY need to know if this is possible. I've done a search on Google but to no avail. Surely there's got to be SOME kind of program that allows you to view Firewire at fullscreen. Anyone?

  3. Get a DV codec and use Windows Media Player. Search the Tools section for "DV codec".

    dun4cheap, thank you very much! It works great! I'm now able to play XBox, watch VHS movies, and home videos on my computer's LCD in fullscreen. My only other question is that the video appears to be interlaced, with very noticeable lines throughout it. Could it be a bad DV codec, or a setting which I'm not seeing? Or is this just something that's not changeable?

    Also, junkmalle, did you mean that you could watch STREAMING firewire DV (like in Ulead Video Studio) in Windows Media Player, or that you could just watch the already captured .avi DV files? Because if you can view streaming, than it would certainly be an easier and by far cheaper alternative to UVS. If so please let me know how to go about doing that.

    Sorry, ndaher, I missed the part about "streaming" in your original post. As far as I know, WMP can't stream directly from you camcorder to the screen.
