Again these betas use the same code base as the release build, yet the installer is changed to help fix system with alternation install locations for Adobe CS2/3/4. These are all the first installer to include the 64-bit VFW Codec for Vegas 9 and the 64-bit version VirtualDub (and other tools.)

Looking for feedback on installer issues and whether your 64-bit tools can now using the CineForm codec.

Are the links broken for Prospect4K and HD? Having trouble with the downloads...

It is not only the links. The cineform server seems to be down.

new beta installer build of neoscene
 

finally!!!! a build that doesn't crash everything in sight. grobotto loads, no com surrogate errors, and so far no tmpeg or premiere elements crashes. the installer, though, still does not install the cineform importer plugin into premiere elements.....in fact, the install log states that it had searched for premiere pro, cs2, and cs3. but, it makes no mention of searching for cs4 or premiere elements.

Charles,

We need your install.log, it is located in Program fIles/CineForm/[product name]

be glad to....
should i post it here or to whom or where ought i send it?

C:\Program Files (x86)\CineForm\ProspectHD\Install.log
 

When I run the new Prospect HD I get after finishing the install the error "This program might not have installed correctly" with the option to "Reinstall..." or "This program installed..."

I send you my C:\Program Files (x86)\CineForm\ProspectHD\Install.log

with new versions coming out regularly I was wondering are we suppose to uninstall and then install the new version, or just install over the old version?

Always uninstall before and new install. While installing over the top does work, there is a small chance an older component will remain.

Charles,

email it to me (via DVinfo.net.) while it should go through support, sadly I'm the one looking at installer issues these days.

I didn;t see any issue in the install.log. Is there any problem with the installed software?

ok david,

i sent the install.log file to you

A fixed for Neo Scene and Elements, and for 64-bit codec registering.

P.S. 4:50pm PST -- Bumped yersion to 117i -- including licensing to match that of Neo HD/4K which always seemed to work. Just in case.

thanks for all your help!
this latest installer now works for me with neoscene and premiere elements. the importer plugin installs into a cineform folder in my plug-ins\en-us directory.

I have tried installing the latest (117i) version of Neo Scene on my Windows 7 64-bit machine and it doesn't seem to work with either Vegas 9 64-bit or VirtualDub 64-bit. There are no errors during installation. I have looked and I currently have 2 versions of cfhd.dll in my \windows folder tree.

one is in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 - it is shown as 880kbytes and has a timestamp of 6/28/09 5:24 PM. I checked the file properties and the file version of this one is 5.1.1.369, Product Name/Version Neo Scene 1,3,2,117


the other one is in C:\Windows\System32 - it's 968kbytes and has a timestamp of 6/26/09 12:55 PM. the file version of this one is also 5.1.1.369, , Product Name/Version Prospect/NEO 4K 4,0,5,214

any ideas on how to get this working?

On vegas 9 if I select a Cineform encoded clip in the explorer, the properties show up as Video: Stream attributes cannot be determined, CFHD
Audio: 44,100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo, 00:01:00;00, Uncompressed

On vdub64, the error message states that it cannot locate a decompressor for format 'CFHD' (unknown) and then goes on to explain that VirtualDub requires a VFW compatible coded to decompress video.

UPDATE: based on something I saw in another thread I tried reinstalling NeoScene as an administrator and now (strangely) the CFHD.dll file in /Windows/System32 has a slightly earlier timestamp, but everything else in the properties is the same as it was. The new timestamp is 6/25/09 7:57PM.

Here's another update. I downloaded dependency walker and analyzed CFHD.dll (in /System32) and according to DW, the system is missing MSVCR80.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL

also the following appeared in DW's log window
