Re: Does anyone know of an HDV (Apple Intermediate Format) Viewer out there for the PC?

Hi Sam,
No I never found a way or a player. Someone did clue me in to a great workaround for my problem. It probably won't help you if your application is different, but I'll fill you in on what I did and why.

I needed to get several people transcribing interviews I had shot, had a bunch of volunteers and no money to pay.. so I was looking for a cheap solution. My solution was to take my cheap Canon HV-30, turn the onscreen display on which has timecodes, and connect the fire wire to a DVD recorder. Total time is 1 to 1 with about 10 minutes to set it up with a DVD and turn record on. So I ended up making about 400 DVDs that have lots of annoying HDV cameras displays on, one of which is the timecode. It worked great, still alot of work but it didn't tie up my Mac, so as I sat there working, I would just occasionally swap tapes and DVDs and let it go. I'm guessing your application is different, but this is what I did.. best of luck.. Brian
