CVideo is no longer supported. There is no known source of cables for CVideo, which basically makes it impossible to use the software, unless you already have an older version of CVideo and a working cable. Sorry -- I wish there was something I could do about it! --Jeremy

"We had hours and hours of video to transcribe, analyze and present...
CVideo made it happen."

Analyze your video... ...the Mac way

CVideo is a video annotation tool that helps you analyze, annotate and locate specific scenes on your videotapes and laserdiscs.

Link notes with video

CVideo integrates a special word processor with a video controller. The video controller provides direct control of your video player with single keystrokes and mouse clicks. The word processor lets you take notes and stamp start and end times that link each note to a video scene. Once a video is annotated, CVideo can fast forward automatically to any video scene or note. And CVideo will search for phrases and keywords, quickly locating the corresponding video scene or segment. CVideo is simple to learn, and brings unprecedented ease of use to the video medium.

Control your video player

CVideo links your Mac to a video player via a simple cable. It runs on any Apple® Macintosh computer, with no need for special video cards or a lot of computer memory. CVideo can be used with any television monitor.
