I am about to buy an iRez USB Live! video-in cable for my iMac, but seeing the Firewire Webcam on their website has made me wonder whether there are any Firewire alternatives to this product: all I want to be able to do is hook up the DVD player to the iMac so I can watch DVD's with it. Anyone know if Firewire video-in products are on their way for the non-professional? (I am not about to spend $400+ on a Formac Studio thing!!)

The Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge or the Sony Media Converter run about $269-$299 USD. They have composite video, S-Video, left/right stereo inputs and outputs. The downside is you need to watch through a video editing application like iMovie, FCP, or Premiere, because they don't come with their own full-screen viewing application. They are designed to bringing in video for editing purposes, not for general viewing.
