[David Newman]

The latest version has now been released and available for download through the CineForm web site. CineForm Product Downloads

Build 5.0.7.267, released 3-August-2010
Enhanced -- now using fewer threads if there are more than two decoder running in a process.
Enhanced -- the auto 3D muxing option with FirstLight.
Enhanced -- 3D editing features in CS5 with far great speed through the OpenGL control panel's
"Fast 3D" option.
Enhanced -- restored Vegas 9 smart rendering (Sony, you moved the goal post again.)
Fixed -- Parallax 3D filter for support all 3D mode (some were broken in 5.0.6.)
Fixed -- converting QTPro trimmed Canon DSLR MOVs in HDLink.
Fixed -- a transcoding crash, more typical of large source files.
Fixed -- a conflict between MainConcept components and Windows Media Player /
DirectShow playback.

+ many minor tweaks.

Hello David,

I have tried a few times and just now today to get ther download link of neo 4k via the download page as an update, but no email is being received?

Also what was the Mainconcept fix, what was the problem previous that needed to be fixed?

Thanks,

Leo

[David Newman]

We license a range of Mainconcept filters, but until 5.0.6 we left them unregistered (not used by the system as defaults). We did register them in 5.0.6 as a shortcut to new features, unfortunately one the MC demuxer broke some AVI functionality (very weird.) So 5.0.7 we no longer register the MC components, but have had the need features by programmatically evoking the needed filters.

We will give the license server a kick this morning -- it was working last night.

Leo,

email should be going out now. If you didn't get it, please re-request the update.

Hello David,

Thank you I have got the email download links now. Did you manage to find out about the clips when converted into nested sequences and the cross dissolve or transitionbeing added that it crashed.

Thanks,

Leo

It is crashing in the Adobe part of the SDK, so I forwarded the information to Adobe. Hopely they can point out what we are going wrong or get a fix for us. This is not in Premiere itself, but in the stub code we use to hook to the SDK, so turn around time should be faster.

[Roy Feldman]

got this from support:
ok. i checked with an engineer and i'm told that build 267 installs the encoder in the wrong place. so stick with 265 until we get that fixed.

[David Newman]

That is little out of context. We had some issue, with the installation order, now fixed, the 267 build downloads where updated and are fine.

Please see my other post on First Light's white balance picker (color picker) tool NOT WORKING in either of the last two versions.

[David Newman]

Turn off OpenGL, and it will work again. We know aout this one.

[Stephen Armour]

Gotcha, thanks.

My "out of context" is a direct cut and paste from CF support but based on your reassurance I requested download again, installed it, and found it still does not work... guess I should have believed Mr. Segraves who wrote my open trouble report status when it says "work in progress". I hope I am updated on that progress

Hello David,

I put on the latest build

http://www.cineform.com/downloads/Ne...267-100803.zip

When I go to the Cineform C at the bottom right of my task bar, I click on the About tab and get this error.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Updated to NeoHD 507b267, and when attempting to convert/split a single HD 50i MPEG2 (M2T) file from my Canon HV30 to Cineform AVI clips, the Log showed:
..............
Capture device is in camera mode.
Converting C:\xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Building conversion graph.
Using MPEG Audio Decoder 3.

and then NeoHD gives the following error (displayed twice):

"You are attempting to encode a stereo/3D format for which this system is not licensed. Please contact support@Cineform.com."

The same type of file from that camera had worked OK with previous versions of NeoHD, and reverting to 506b265 'fixed' the problem.

System is an Intel Core/Duo running WinXP SP2.

Update:
Tried reinstalling 507 after deinstalling - still getting same error, but also:
"Returning from encode sample, error: 55. Please contact support......."
Then HDLink hangs..
