Editing video software support For Mac OS X:
Avid Xpress Pro HD, Supports a wide range of HDV formats/standards, but no support for true 24p HDV. iMovie HD Universal binary, as of latest version (6.0.3), it does not support 24p HDV. Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro 6 Latest version of FCP 6.0 does support direct HDV 24p, and 720/25p which is used in PAL countries (i.e. needed when working with a JVC Pro HD camera in 720/25p mode)

Adobe Premiere Pro
Lumiere HD for Final Cut Pro 5. First available software to edit HDV on a Mac with QuickTime based Non Linear Editing systems. Like Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro, it allows for back to tape in HDV encoding (Including JVC's 24p ProHD). No universal binary is currently available, and is reportedly unstable under Rosetta on Intel Macs.

MPEG Streamclip 1.8 for Mac is a Universal Binary and supports automatic 3:2 pulldown (Converts 24p to 29.97), this program can only perform basic edits such as cutting, copying, pasting and trimming, but is available free of charge, and has excellent tools for exporting, demuxing and converting video, for example from HDV format (usually with the .m2t extension) to MPEG-2 (.mp2) format. MPEG Streamclip can handle most MPEG container formats (including ts, ps, vob, dat, mpg, and mp2) which adds to its usefulness.
HDVxDV Now Universal Binary. This program loads in HDV (Including JVC's 24p ProHD) and transcodes to whichever format the user wishes to edit. Timecode support is inaccurate. Does not allow for back to tape in HDV.
