I tried Apple Video Player (which I found at the Apple Web site), but I still got no video display. Nosing around the Apple Web site some more, I found Knowledge Base Article 22129. It says you must have a monitor connected to the on-board monitor port for video capture. When I connected a second monitor to the on-board port (my main monitor is connected to an ATI Radeon card), I was indeed able to get Apple Video Player to work. I also discovered that you do not have to turn the second monitor on--merely connecting it is enough.
I do not want two monitors connected permanently, so my new question is: Can I connect a dummy load of some sort to the on-board monitor port to fool the computer?

I have connected a VCR to the A/V card with RCA cables. I can select the audio input from the VCR in the Sound control panel, but I cannot figure out how to view the video component on my monitor. I have QuickTime Pro 5.0, OS 9.2, and OS X 10.2. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
