The NEO HDV v3 Software from Cineform is an advanced capture application and compression codec for Windows. The software package includes a video capture application, HD Link, that can be used to acquire MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2T) files from HDV camcorders. The M2T files are transcoded to the NEO codec and wrapped as Windows AVI or QuickTime MOV files. This allows you to use these files across several applications without the need for transcoding, which can often be time consuming. Quite simply, NEO HDV v3 saves time by allowing you to simplify your HDV workflow.
