I just happened by the Cineform website tonight, and noted that NeoScene has an update as of May 29, 2009. I have downloaded and installed, and am presently converting a large batch of 5D files.

The site indicates:

Discussion: Important update adds CineForm exporter plus feature / stability enhancements.

Added: CineForm AVI export modules for Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4 This bypasses Adobe’s limited VfW engine and provides 10-bit CineForm exports.

Added: VfW Codec now has pixel aspect ratio controls in its settings panel.

Enhanced: Decoder is more memory efficient by 6MB per instance.

Enhanced: CS4 importer is getting better each day, lower memory usage and faster. (CS4.1 is recommended)

Enhanced: Now using codec core v5.0.6


Can anyone explain this:

"VfW Codec now has pixel aspect ratio controls in its settings panel."

I was hoping this would give us capablitiy of resizing to a different format, like we had in NeoHDV, but I really did not see any capabilty for that in the convert preferences.

VfW controls help when exporting from NLE to non-squarepixel CineForm output for desktop playback. Neo Scene is not getting the Neo HD feature for direct resizing during conversion.
