No!

Yes, on my Mac PPC I use ShrinkWrap v3.0 to change the HDV to
a ProDOS hard drive ][ image file.  Both Bernie or Gus - IIgs emulators
on my Mac can mount them just fine.  BTW, there HDV files I mention are
from your collection!

After the ShrinkWrap program has the HDV converted to a ProDOS ][ file format
image it mounts it like a hard drive on the Mac desktop.  Then you can click on
the HD image that's mounted with a little HD icon that represents it - it opens
like any other HD on a Mac on the Mac desktop,
then you can do with the files and folders as you wish - like any other HD
on your Mac.

You can mount the ShrinkWrap file format HD ][ image just like it was 
an actual ProDOS HD via either Bernie or Gus - and then from within 
either IIgs emulator on it's desktop - click on the HD ][ icon - it opens and
you can then do what you wish with the files and/or folders - like any other HD
image on the emulators desktop.

Hope that helps you out with your questions.  You know who to email,
if you need any more help with the matters ;)
