DV Log-X was built to log only from FireWire devices rather than from media files. The idea was to eliminate the need for space consuming files on the logging station. It was also built with simplicity in mind, so that you can start logging immediately without the need to configure anything.
A newer app called HD Log has since been released for those that need the ability to log from QuickTime or MPEG media files (in the Silver edition). It has all of the features of DV Log-X plus more, and so it will work with FireWire devices as well as QuickTime DV files. The Silver edition also has a multi-file search function that will allow you to create a ‘virtual’ database.
DV Log-X is not being actively developed, but HD Log is, and so we are always optimizing and enhancing the current features as well as adding new ones. You can check it out at: https://www.imagineproducts.com/HDLog.htm
There is a demo at the bottom of both the DV Log-X and HD Log pages.
