firewire questions

im trying to make a video for the robotics and im trying to do a motion screen capture of the computer screen. I've tried programs like camtasia which will let you capture the desktop but a lot of frames get dropped so it looks choppy. I was thinking of how a dv cam connects to the computer and I thought, what if i connected 2 computers via firewire and had one output its screen so that i can see it on the other computer and record it with a capture program like what adobe premiere has. I don't even know if this is possible and that's why I'm asking if anyone has any experience on this subject.


p.s. The computer im on now has the radeon 9700 pro which has a svideo out. and my other computer has the radeon 8500 pro which has the svideo in. So i tried that way, from the svideo to this to the input of the other computer, but the screen came out blurry. This is the closest i've gotten to a smooth video but its blurred so it's useless.


any ideas?
