		"Beautiful interface, great concept"
		...If you’re serious about organizing your video footage, whether for personal or professional use, iDive is the way to go. ...The best feature of iDive, by far, is the many ways information can be viewed and searched. There are several ways to view your imported clip data, including tabbed, icon and timeline views. Each of these views can be customized to fit your own way of working and previewing... Rob LeFebvre Read iDive's review by AAUG

		"...it will be hard to beat this product."
		"...There are a number of other features in iDive which are not present in competing products, or at least not as easy to use. The current version is already very feature-rich. If Aquafadas keeps its promise and adds footage import capability with the next version, my personal opinion is that it will be hard to beat this product."

Yes we will keep our promise. iDive 1.4 will be a FREE major update and it will allow to scan footage already on disk (CDs/DVDs/Hard Drives)"

		"Eintauchen ins Filmarchiv"
		..iDive bringt tatsächlich Ordnung in die mit DV-Kassetten gefüllte Schuhschachtel. Das Versehen mit Anmerkungen und die einfachen aber wirkungsvollen Suchfunktionen sorgen dafür, dass man jeden Clip schnell und sicher auffinden kann. Ebenso beeindruckend war das Tempo, in dem Anfragen an den Support beantwortet wurden. iDive ist ein flotter Start gelungen..."

		Matthieu, iDive's developer was selected as finalist for the MacGeneration Awards 2004.


	Users' Testimonials




	iDive is by far the best solution I have found for cataloging hours and hours of DV material. It is so easy to capture tapes and then tag the clips with vital information about who, what and where the clips are about. Getting this logging information into a professional editor like Final Cut Pro couldn't be simpler and makes the process of getting clips ready for editing so fast and easy. iDive is fantastic. Wes Plate, President, Automatic Duck, Inc. It is a surprising and beautiful experience at the same time to see its film file like a photo album and to have exactly the same much fun. Nicolai Peters, Germany Enjoying iDive very much - completed my first project in Final Cut Express last night. Clip selection is a breeze - especially with XML interchange!! Gordon Murrison - Scotland "Love your product, and everytime I've had even the smallest issue, you've been so prompt!" Derek Colanduno - BatPig Studios - USA "You guys really made a great piece of software. Finally a great solution for cataloging DV. The spotlight integration is also fantastic. Really great work, keep it up!" Peter Mergaerts, Belgium "I just need to tell you that the application is fantastic. Being able to "see into the shoebox" and visualize each tape has been remarkable. It's going to enable me to enjoy the videos I've taken over the years... just fantastic! " Doug Nelson, USA "iDive is an incredible piece of software and exactly what I've been looking for since I started shooting DV several years ago. I'm just glad it's made for the Mac." S. Sem, USA “I have enjoyed trying out your excellent software package, iDive and feel it can be a great help in our activities. Congratulations.” R B Mc Leod, UK "It has changed my video life, personally and professionally!" Review on Version Tracker “I like iDive very much. It is a great tool for getting an overview of my tapes. It seems to be one of my favorite tools. “ Norbert Weber, Germany "Brilliant program!" G. Williams, Australia “ I stumbled across this software just when I was wondering how to go about transferring 100-odd Hi-8 tapes to mini-dv, and how to make notes about what holiday is on what tape, and where's the shot of this, and where's the shot of that (we're talking 200 hours of footage, spanning 10 years, during which I didn't label tapes) - - and it's going to save my digital life!!! The interface is clean and elegant, and it works perfectly. I've had a couple questions, which the developer has been incredibly helpful with. All in all, iDive has proved to be one of my best software experiences yet. Five stars.” Malcolm Hamilton, Canada "Thank you for saving my life , what a beautiful program. Finally I can see the wood for the trees and the box of mini DV will see the light of day " Giles Mayall, UK "I love your app. My tapes are all cataloged now and I know which one is the right for certain clips. Thanks for this great OS X application. " K. Löhmann, www.osxentwicklerforum.de
