Some questions about Aspect HD

Marty Baggen · June 14th, 2007, 06:47 PM

Thanks David.

Have you tried the same thing with all the filters turned off to make sure it's not a 3rd party filter issue?

I can't play an AVI captured with Aspect HD on VLC Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) It can only play the audio. I also installed NEO player installed.

you shouldnt install neo player and aspect

David Newman · June 22nd, 2007, 08:33 PM

Yes, NEO Player will down-grade Aspect HD slighty (Video for Windows codec will no longer encode.) Uninstall NEO Player, then reinstall Aspect HD.

VLC doesn't support DirectShow or Vfw, or any third party codec, only open source decoders are implemented (it still a nice player for those codecs.) Get the Media Player Classic for a good all-round player.

Thanks! How do I uninstall NeoPlayer properly? It didn't come with an uninstall program though. Any help?

David Newman · June 22nd, 2007, 10:59 PM

It should have in Start Menu -> Programs -> CineForm -> Neo Player. If not just use Add & Remove Programs from the control panel.

I uninstalled VLC Player long ago in favor of Media Player Classic. It plays Cineform AVIs, but I strongly suspect that it uses the wrong field dominance. Same with M2T files. Since I can't prove it, I haven't made an issue of it. Anyone else suspect a field dominance problem?

After updating to Aspect 4.3, After Effects 7 is unable to load the CFHDIO.aex file.

It is present in the plug-ins folder.

I have re-installed the update, but no change.

David Newman · July 3rd, 2007, 09:03 AM

There is a registry switch to turns the AE importer on for Aspect HD (default is off for AHD and on for PHD.) Please ask support as I can't remember what it is.

Marty Baggen · July 3rd, 2007, 09:16 AM

Thanks David... I have submitted a ticket and will post the results if it will be of help to others.

Do you have any special plans for celebrating your 3000th post?

Hi David, I currently have Aspect 4, Premiere Pro 1.5.1, and Vegas 7. I purchase Aspect because it included the HDlink, so I was covered for both Vegas and Premier. If I upgrade to Aspect 5, will it still work with Premiere 1.5.1? Does it still have the HDlink (or Neo equivelent) to work with Vegas?
I like being able to use Aspect with both of these NLE's, and will be happy to upgrade to version 5 if it will still do this. I use Vegas more then Premiere, so if Aspect won't support both, is there an upgrade path for me from Aspect to Neo?
Thanks - PK

David Newman · July 9th, 2007, 08:45 AM

Aspect HD 5 has everything you need for both Vegas and Adobe tools (including 1.5.1 support.)

Paul Kepen · July 9th, 2007, 10:59 AM

Thanks David for the quick response. I will be placing my upgrade order today. I am sorry to bother you with these questions, but on the Cineform web site it only states that v5 works with PPro 2 and CS3, no mention of 1.5. Also with the product change from HDLink to Neo, I was not sure if Aspect 5 would work with Vegas, so Thanks for the good news - PK

Marty Baggen · July 12th, 2007, 08:23 AM

After updating to 4.32 build 77, After Effects 7 would notify that the CFHDIO.aex could not be loaded.

No such problem with previous versions of Aspect.

I have gone through trouble ticket process and tried a couple of solutions to no avail. The error prompt still occurs.

Today, out of frustration... I simply ok'd from the error message for the loading of the Cineform codec, and proceeded.

Oddly enough, I can load and export Cineform AVIs.

A situation where things are working, but something isn't quite right.
