Why no P2 Viewer for Mac?

Barry, what I'm saying is that it's still just a folder on your hard drive and not a logical volume that appears under "My Computer". A program doesn't doesn't allow you to load P2 volumes from any location you designate and instead expects the virtual P2 card to be accessible through a drive letter will not see the virtual P2 card.
 
Okay, well, I can see that, but I don't know of any NLE that limits you in that way though. I can import "virtual cards" into EDIUS or through Raylight or into FCP or ... well, just about any NLE. Only one that really doesn't work that way that I can think of is Avid, which basically requires you to copy the audio & video MXFs off the card into the media drive, and in a circumstance like that a virtual card wouldn't behave any differently.
