Videopier: solving the DVD camera problem
I hate getting told that footage is coming from a DVD camera (and then, y'know, you have to deal with mpeg streamclip....)
VideoPier is the missing link between MPEG2 camcorders and your Mac. It lets you visualize the clips on your camera that Quicktime would otherwise refuse to open. VideoPier lets you copy them to disk, and export them to any format for viewing (iPod, AppleTV, iPhone) or editing (iMovie 06/08).
