How to us firewire to output video to dv camera os x g5

I want to record my screen movements. I thought, if I output to my dv
camera as if it was a projector or something then I could record the
desktop with the camera. Then I could capture that video with imovie
and make my video.

Does this logic work. I am really new to Macs so I can't figure out
how to get the video to show up on my camera.

Dose anyone have an Idea for this?

Thanks

I've done it and it's worked for me. Your G5 will need to have an
S-Video (or TV output) connection and your DV camcorder will need an
S-Video input (or composite in with S-Video adapter)*

Then just use the "Detect Displays" feature from the Displays System
Preferences. Your DV camcorder should look like an external TV. Then
just record with the camcorder as per its recording instructions.

Then you'll need to capture the DV off the camcorder with iMovie.

*I have an ATI Radeon 9800 and it has an S-Video out. I don't know what
G5 or video card you have so you may or may not have an S-Video out on
the card. The OEM video cards aren't the same as the retail, Apple has
different specs. Apple does make a DVI to Video adapter that should work
for you if you don't use your DVI for your main display.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
