I have made a tutorial for making a quick screen cast from one Mac to another - without the need for any extra hardware apart from a Firewire cable.
This way the owners of two Macs will be able to create a digital video mixer on the fly using the screen capture of one computer as a video source in e.g. Modul8 on the other computer.
Yea I know it's not a real substitution for a video mixer but it might be a worthy alternative to a TV capture card.

Let me know what you think

amazing work!!!

. i saw that on create digital motion! very cool! do you know if the firewire speed make a difference? ie, can i run a firewire 800 (from mac mini as the sender) to the firewire 400 on a macbookpro?

. thanks!

The Firewire 400 is fast enough for DV - in my test the sending machine was FW800 while the receiving was equipped with a FW400 port. Moreover it's a question of the CPU (or is it running on the GPU?) - how fast is it able to compress/decopress the DV signal
