thanks

If I'm getting this right. You want to feed the signal from the DV Camcorder to your laptop? If your DV camera has a firewire passthrough, you could get a cardbus firewire card. I paid about $40US for one and it works with DV signals. Never tried previewing it full screen, though.

Never thought, it was possible to preview DV in full screen (i.e. > 720x576/480).

What about iuVCR (from iuLabs)...
It has resizeable preview window for viewing DV video.
I think I was able to watch it in resolution higher then 720x576/480...
(I am outside home at this time).

You can use the "Amcap" freeware program for this:

You can also try this "TV Viewer" shareware program:

P.S. You also need a firewire card and cable.
