HDV is a GOP, or "Group of Pictures" codec; it is not frame-based. Same with H264. it is encoded every nth frame and needs to be decoded. that is why it won't play out the card.

NOW, in Final CUT, you can get it to play out the card because performs secret acrobatics.

with VVTR PRO you CAN use the Graphic overlay feature to "play" the codec.

what i do? convert it to DVC PRO HD.
