Essential for any large video project

Summary
I needed a method for organizing my pile of home videos and CatDV Pro turns out to be just what I needed. It takes time to log the tapes (about 75min to review a 60min tape) because I am listening to all the audio and am essentially transcribing the audio on some of the tapes. CatDV provides captures a lot of data using the metadata that is part of the movie file. It also provides user defined fields and plenty of space for notes. CatDV is the missing link between my pile of tapes and video editing software.
A huge timesaver!

Summary
I've been using CatDV a while and it's really helped me put some order in my tape library. AVI support could be improved (it uses QuickTime internally) but it's still an excellent tool on the PC.
