I remembered you'd mentioned <a href="http://chrisp.de/monitormode/" rel="nofollow">Monitor Mode</a> at NECC but didn't remember the name or link. I've saved it now to <a href="http://del.icio.us/wfryer/video" rel="nofollow">my "video" tagged social bookmarks.</a> Now the next question is, what type of flexible DV camera were you using at NECC? Several others responded to this post and my question about software applications on Twitter, they suggested using <a href="http://www.mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php" rel="nofollow">Vidi</a>, <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/" rel="nofollow">QuickTime Broadcaster</a>, or <a href="http://www.allocinit.com/index.php?title=CamTwist" rel="nofollow">CamTwist.</a> Of these, I've downloaded Monitor Mode and Vidi, and will give them a try when I need this functionality again. (Actually I think I'll try them BEFORE I have that need again....) I also tried using <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro" rel="nofollow">QuickTime Pro</a> software for this purpose today, but went with iMovie since the video window was bigger. I think Monitor Mode sounds like the winner, since it can be shown fullscreen. Awesome, thanks Tony! I remembered you’d mentioned Monitor Mode at NECC but didn’t remember the name or link.

Monitor Mode takes a video source and allows you to show it full screen. It's great for using a camera to show an iPhone, iPod, or cell phone screen.
