Bugs in new beta ProspectHDv412b224-091016 ? at DVinfo.net

After loading the newest beta for CFHD (4.1.2) on a 32 bit ws with CS3.2, we noticed that any older CF video (1920x1080p) from our own stock library is causing CS3 to "force render" with a red line above. Newer CF video done since the beginning of this year is NOT showing this behavior.

To try to identify the problem, we tried the following:

- re-rendered it with HDLink (same thing)
- re-registered components (same thing)
- uninstalled the latest beta and reinstalled the first 4.0 Prospect (crashed Premiere CS3 and it wouldn't run!)
- re-installed Prospect beta 4.1.2 (same thing)
- "repaired" the avi with CFRepair.exe (same thing, though it showed as "changing" the video to 29.4 fps...)
- gave up and am posting this as a possible "bug" (since we had this same problem in an earlier version...)

One more possible bug:

FL (the new version) is also now quite unstable and crashes readily, both on a 64bit ws with CS4, and on a 32bit CS3 ws.

We repeated all the above on another CS4 (64bit system) and did not get the same results. All video comes in with a normal green line above it.

Stephen, yes there was some instability in the last beta builds within FL. We'll have new builds ready to post in the next day or so that fixes those problems.

Best thing to fix 32bit woes is to dump 32bit for Win7 and jack up the RAM to at least 16 GB (for CS4 only).

Best thing for the rest, is to dump CS4...for CS5...may it happen quickly. If Adobe is smart they will. Oh well, forget the quickly...for sure you'll have to suffer with CS4 until their May/June/July release.

Their true 64bit support for PP and AE CS5 will make the CS4-until-then wait a long one.
