Anyone have trouble with the importer, or is my footage corrupt?

I hope I followed your instructions correctly because I am using VirtualDub for the first time. I check "Direct Stream Copy" choose in/out points, and then choose "Save Segmented AVI" ?

That should be fine, even the "Save as AVI..." works with in and out points. Something really short, less than 10MB is fine.

Did that SendSpace link work for you? It's a public link you should be able to download quickly from.

Thanks for your help, you've been awesome.

I missed the link in the last post, got it now. Unfortunately it is working fine here. I'll take that file into the office tomorrow and re-test with Vista 64. This has me puzzled, bugs are so much easier when they fail everywhere. One other possible factor, I'm running CS4 4.1 beta -- it is nicer. So I have things to try tomorrow.

Thanks David. I appreciate you looking into this.
I filed a trouble-ticket this morning as well, but I hadn't heard back.

So I'm happy you had some time to look into it tonight.

Not surprising, I'm the only one back from the show.

Awesome. I got it working!

I guess it's most likely it was a PC issue, and not a Cineform bug. Though, I appreciate your advice and troubleshooting.

Today I reformatted, installed Windows 7 Release Candidate (Build 7100), installed CS4, and the Prospect 4 beta.... works like a charm!

All my clips import entirely, and all my clips in my sequences work 100%.

Hope that helps, and offers encouragement to those wanting to try Windows 7 now that the Release Candidate is out.
