David,
Looks like you have tweaked the dshow import of CineForm avi in fusion with .130?

int16 seems to SmR

David Newman · June 8th, 2007, 07:58 PM

We haven't change anything in particular for Fusion, so how do you mean?

Salah Baker · June 8th, 2007, 08:34 PM

will go ticket ...seems whatever changes you did fusion sees CF avis in a differing light

sees the CF avis as a qtime file now in loaders on import

Fusion seems to do this. Sometimes the (proper) AVI loader gets used; other times it seems to fail and kicks down to the QT loader (which if you have Aspect HD means it doesn't work, since there's no QT CFHD codec).

This is predictable and file-dependent (i.e., it's replicable for a given AVI file). I communicated back and forth with Fusion support on this, but as far as I know it didn't get resolved. Hey, not everyone can be Cineform support...

One correctly, Aspect HD v5.0 now has a QT codec, so it is also likely to work with Fusion now.

Is the Windows QT codec on par quality/performance-wise with the AVI codec? (I'm guessing yes, or close-to-yes?)

If you remove the QT loader from its folder, Fusion will load all CFHD AVIs properly. So regardless, this is still Fusion being twitchy, it seems (unless Cineform is doing something suspect that leads to the AVIs being misidentified). It's the only application I've seen do this.

The visual quality is identical - just a different wrapper. Using our HDLink utility you can also re-wrap one to another if an application has a specific preference. To re-wrap AVI to MOV, just select MOV as the output format. As long as no other conversion options are checked an identical file is created with a MOV wrapper without touching the underlying compression. It's almost as fast as a file copy.
