I used Cineform products plugged-in to Premiere Pro for years including Aspect HD and then its successor Prospect HD to convert all my HDV footage from mini-DV tapes to the intermediate AVI codec. It worked well in the earlier years of slower P4 & Dual Core computers to make real time editing easier in some ways among other benefits. But nowdays almost every major pc-based editing suite (maybe FCP too, I'm not a Mac expert) can handle all the major consumer, prosumer and professional codecs that I and many others use including HDV, AVCHD, XDCam EX, Canon DSLR video and more. So I would think twice about getting locked into any third party codecs like Cineform at this point because I feel they are passe unless you are mixing a lot of different types of video sources for complex multi-layer editing.
