Couple Mac Questions Camcorder and Keyboard

[Jamesbuk]

Hey guys and girls,

I need to plug in, and view live, 2 camcorders in my Mac (I think OS 10.2)

iMovie works well for 1 camcorder, it lets me plug it in via firewire, view live whats happening and record it straight to HDD - perfect! but is there a software that will let me view 2 camcorders live, preferably have the option to record both at once but I can live with only recording one at a time.

Obviously I'd prefer free software, but if anyone knows of - and can recommend any payware that'd be cool.

Another question..

I have a 'normal' keyboard, not one of them fancy apple ones and it connects to my pc using the 'circular' connection but my Mac (its an older one) has only USB inputs so I bought a little converter so the circular goes in and USB comes out. I plugged the usb with the keyboard connected into the mac and nothing! I restarted, nothing!

I cant take this little thing back as I bought it off ebay about 2 months ago and Im positive it has worked before on the Mac.

Any ideas whats wrong? or whether its possible to get a driver?

P.s. Whoever said Macs "just work" is a damned right liar
