Public beta for CineForm Neo 5.2

[Gary Brun]

HI David.
Ive never had the problem before but Cineform files (transcoded with the new beta) crash Sorrenson Squeeze when trying to convert to a .flv file.

[David Newman]

Gary,

That is unexpected. So older files continue to work? All new files fail? The recent changes should not have altered the bit-stream so this is surprising.

HI David.
I get a crash on all Cineform files.

Sequeeze works fine here. Can you send a source file that crashes and the extract Sequeeze set up to cause the failure. Are you exporting in a 3D mode, or anything else I should know.

[Gary Brun]

HI David.
I can send you through a source file if required... Ill send you a link for download via your pm system if you need it... but even if the Cineform files are over a year old they still crash it (cant tell you what codec I used then). Any .flv preset casues the crash above on all Cineform files.

Im now using CineForm Neo4k (5.1.3 Build 272) Codec Version 6.5.4. 486
Sorrenson Sq 6.5 .0.42

Im only working with 2D files.

[David Newman]

New or old, none are crashing here. I will need test will a short clip from you.

[Gary Brun]

Youve got email...
Give it around another 10mins and it should all be uploaded.

I have refreshed all the download links for 5.2 to contain a patched HDLink.
Fixed: crash generating proxy (only occurred on some sources.)
Fixed: MXF timeocde reading.

NeoScene gets the component to allow it to encode within the new Vegas 10.

You can know you have the new version as it will be called ...277a.exe within the zip.

One step forward with ...277a - but...

Working with Canon 5DII files and HDLink I can now make proxy files from MOV files; very nice.

But I can't make good Cineform AVI files for MOV files; the resulting video has a green screen all over, with the original footage behind the screen.

Likewise if I try to make a proxy from a previous Cineform AVI file I get a full sized file (actually somewhat larger than the original), again with the green screen. (But it doesn't crash!)

[David Newman]

Charles,

We can't product the green files here. As we not seeing anything like that, we may need to get support to do a remote session on you PC. It is likely an old registry preset we've long since forgotten. Friday is best as Jake is in the Solana Beach office with engineering.

As for "make proxy files from MOV files", unless the source was a CineForm file, it is not true proxy, just a small file. It is only a true proxy (in the CineForm sense) when the active metadata also crosses over.

Jake it is. In the mean time I've rolled back to 5.1.0.268 and don't have the green screen.

Thanks for your support. Finally Barbara sent me the registration key. Thanks again. By the way the program is wonderful and I am very excited about it. Solved me a lot of headaches.

Hello David,

are you sure this beta has fixed the issue with MXF files from Canon XF300/305 ?
i tried to convert some files and i still get the message "format not suported".
i use hdlink version 5.2 b277 (neo4k).

thanks!

[Pete Bauer]

Make sure you have the 277a version, rather than the original 277 file (see David Newman's comment earlier: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/1577748-post23.html).

[Cedric Pottier]

i just have downloaded the latest from the link at the top of this thread.
where did you get the b277a ?
