These are designed to let you record VCR tapes etc. onto DVD via a mac/PC. I see no reason that this would'nt work. I don't think you can use HDMI it will be composite or component at best. Quite expensive but suppoosed to be very good: http://reviews.cnet.com/tv-tuner-adapters/pinnacle-video-capture-for/4505-9332_7-32738841.html The only way I think this would be possible is by buying a USB or Firewire video input device.

But usually there are cops on the premises and barricades set up first thing in the morning, and sometimes they do wristbands for general admiss. I would call the venue or Ticketmaster for more info.

The computer never stops you from moving the mouse pointer. It just sends the file back to where it was. Why does it send it back? What is the message? Think about the wording of the message and you will probably know what to do. Is the message about privileges? Is it your computer or are you a secondary user? Maybe you don't have administrative privileges. Talk to the computer's owner about this. If you are sure your account is an admin account, open Disk Utility and repair permissions. Is the message about "file is in use"? Restart and try again. Is this file on your computer or another one, such as a network file server? You may have to ask the administrator of the network to delete the file. Is the file on an externally connected drive? Is the drive connected when you try to delete the file? Did you create the video clip yourself with a camcorder? If you got the file from someone else, ask if this file has any special protection applied to it. If you got the file from a website, does the file have some odd spelling to its name? Try changing the name to "file.avi" or whatever. Just make it simple with only normal letters or numbers in the name. Last suggestion: Create a new admin user, logout, login as the new user. Try to put the file in the trash. No go? You need to boot to the install disc and do an archive install saving users and network. It will let you drag it to the trash. The computer never stops you from moving the mouse pointer.
