Cineform Beta has crashed my computer, how do I remove it?
I was pretty stupid putting the beta software of Cineform on my Mac, I should have known better.
Anyway, I put the Beta on, it came on whenever it felt the software needed to, and I was not paying attention to the experation date. Yesterday, after I restarted my machine, the Cineform Splash shows up as it always did, only this time there are no buttons to click, no words to read, no options. In doing so I can not open another finder window, I can not open any files. I would have to know what I am looking for in Spotlight, then maybe get it to open. Cineform has crashed my computer. How do I take this software off my machine? I am not going to wipe a 750GB hard drive that is 3/4 full of footage. |

Jim, the Cineform folks check in here often but I'd still strongly recommend contacting them directly using their Trouble Ticket system.
PS: I'm not a Mac guy...can you boot from a removeable disk and work from there to uninstall Cineform?

In the CineForm folder within Applications has a readme to explain how to manually remove the codec.
It is very simple Go to the /Library/QuickTime Folder remove the CFHDCodec.component

That's why it's called BETA :) Don't beat yourself up, you weren't being stupid, just taking a risk. How did it work otherwise before it expired? I have an outside agency that we share projects with, they use macs and cineform would be a good match.

In the updated beta we removed many of those pop-ups, so it is already evolving based on user feedback. A third generation beta should be up in a week or so.

I did not have that readme file, and could not for the life of me find that info on the website. Of course I have a 2 week old baby and have not slept in well, 2 weeks. However, I did find the file, and have deleted it. I had to re-apply for a serial for the beta, and by the grace of god,I had opened iTunes on accident, a second cineform box popped up, asked for a renewal, I slapped in the new serial, rebooted, no problem, I was then able to open a finder, and delete that bad boy. Thanks guys. Now, If I can only figure out why my poor baby girl has colic and why sleeping seems to be such a hard thing to get. oh, btw, is there an admin link, or tech link on this website, cI have to log in everytime i visit this website. |

Glad it got sorted out.
On the log-in, my understanding is that there is a Safari issue w/ the forum software that DVinfo uses: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=92913 The site owner and tech support are aware and seeking to fix the issue.
