would it be possible to input a video signal through the dvi output on
my macbook pro? i have an xbox 360 and would like to input the signal
from the hdmi port on it into the dvi port on my macbook. is there any
software that does this, or does the hardware not even make this
possible?

The MacBook DVI port is output only.

Ah, no.

It is an output, not an input.

This is a hardware problem, not a software problem.
