Capturing HDV Video to the Apple Intermediate Codec
Capturing HDV video is very similar to capturing DV video using the Capture Now
feature. The main differences are:
 The Capture window is not used.
 Capturing HDV video may not take place in real time because transcoding HDV
frames into the Apple Intermediate Codec requires special processing steps.
