InterView 2.1 Optimized for OSX and QuickTime 6 - Highlighted Features

• Exclusive OS X & QuickTime 6 Compatibility: The award-winning device is the only solution that allows users to capture, edit and display video via USB in OS X and delivery via MPEG-4 using QuickTime 6 Broadcaster.
• QuickTime Pro Included: The upgrade includes Apple's QuickTime Pro 5 (key) allowing full editing directly in QuickTime Player, and a variety of export and video conversion functions. A $30 value.
• iMovie DV Support for Analog Video: InterView includes a drag and drop (AppleScript) application for converting the captured analog video to DV format for use in Apple's iMovie application.

There are two version of InterView 2.0: one with Mac OS X support, called "InterView 2.0 w/ OS X Support," and one just called InterView 2.0. For owners of the version with Mac OS X support, version 2.1 of the software can be downloaded from XLR8's Web site.

For owners of the non-Mac OS X version, or version 1.x, XLR8 tells us they have to modify the device for you, which the company is charging US$24.95 for. This update includes support for Mac OS X, and is only being offered to customers in the US.
