Running 10.5.8 on an 1.25GHz eMac G4.

I have a VCR hooked through an analog/DV converter, that supplies DV to
the eMac through FireWire. With this I use iMovie HD 6 to watch/record
old VHS tapes. It works well.

But iMovie's full screen mode only works on DV video already saved to
disk. It won't display an incoming DV stream in full screen mode.
QuickTime Player and VLC won't open the stream at all.

Is there any app that will display incoming DV full screen without
having to save the stream to disk first?

Streaming DV video through firewire is not exactly the latest
technology. My analog-digital converter pre-dates my eMac by three
years; I used it with a 700MHz eMac without a problem. My current eMac
has no trouble displaying DVDs, DV, and many other formats full screen
with QuickTime or iMovie. I just need an application that can display
the incoming DV full screen.
