I was wondering whether there was a media player that would play out through a firewire connection to my digital camera so i can use my mac as a player and have the video come up on a video monitor?

I do editing so i know i can do this in final cut, imovie etc and with "simple video out" i can play out some quicktime files but is there any player that just plays everything out, especially avi's?

basically i want to play movies out to a video monitor without unplugging one of my DVI monitors to use an DVI - sVideo adaptor.

cheers

Have a look at this:

Not used it. Just found it googling. It seemingly will allow firewire preview from any Quicktime App. However, doesn't look amazingly up to date so don't know if it will work with Quicktime 7, etc.

To do this your app would have to transcode the video on the fly, so I can't imagine anything doing this all that well.

This works very well . . . if you follow the directions. With the WMV player plugin for Quicktime, I can even output WMV files to firewire. This handles anything quicktime can read . . . in real time.
