Actually the reason why I want to edit direct on Premiere the original mov files is that I want to avoid too many convertions (sometimes I have many files). But If I use the converted audio of the Cineform AVI, it is indeed longer than the mov. So I get problems with synch.
Actually the problem is only during preview. If I stop it and then start it again, the problem is gone for a while. When I export the mov after editing, the audio is perfect.

So, I finally managed to get it right (just by chance). That means I can import the original MOV file on Premiere in a new Cineform project, edit them with perfect preview and without rendering (audio and sound) and export them as a AVI Cineform. Now HD link convertion worked one time in the right way, but then it stopped as usual. The only thing I know is that after istalling again the Vista Codecs from shark007 and choosing set the mov to use Haali splitter it started finally to work without the audio delays...

PS: with Windows 7 I still didn't manage to get it work perfectly.

hey David,

I need a bit of a reality check... So i can plan around this stressful project of mine.

I have a huge client job that is due in 2 weeks. We shot mostly at night with the mark II.

Realistically do u think this new neo V4 would get released sometime this week or next? Is there a projected released date? End of feb?

Im in a bit of a panic. SHould i plan for plan B? Or hang in as somthing might come out soon?

Check out the free transcoding solution I posted here.

Works pretty well and the software feels very robust and reliable.

NEO HD v3.4.9 + CoreAVC (Video) + ffdshow (Audio)
 

Using CineForm HDLink (And windows XP ), I also had major problems with audio.
(In fact, I had no audio at all !)

So I installed ffdshow and tried to ensure that it decodes the audio (And audio only):

ffdshow:
Video decoder: uncheck all supported video
Audio decoder: check "Raw files" (Uncompressed : all supported)

(CoreAVC: as usual)

Result is perfect.
(Sorry for my bad english)

Didier,

Thanks for an excellent solution for handling the audio under NEO HD.

Well, after following your suggestion, cineform didn't work anymore on my pc (probably because ffdshow caused conflicts with vistacodecs). I couldn't get any preview starting on premiere. I had to uninstall ffdshow, vistacodecs and corecodec because I couldn't get anymore the right settings. Then, after many tries, I managed to get it work like before.

I'm leery of ffdshow anyway, but it didn't work, with it installed under Vista x64 (as per your suggestions for setting the ffdshow options). 5D2 MOV files converted to CFHD AVI, either had no audio (no change) or would lock up the media players, when playing the file (new result).

I’m leery of Vista. So I've only tried this method under XP

On my first PC, it worked right from the first try.
On the second, it was a bit more complicated: After installing ffdshow, I was obliged to re-install CoreAVC and NEO HD, reboot the PC, and so on… (Windows, my love)
But now, it works perfectly well

LOL, aren't we all. Maybe if I have some free time later, I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling CoreAVC & NEO HD.

BTW, I don't see why people think Windows 7 is going to be such a big improvement.

I've tried the ffd approach but it didn't work, still no sound.

I'm a total video noob but here is what (seems) to work for me...

After de-installing Cineform and re-installing it gave a message that no valic AC3 decoder was found and suggested I installed ac3filter from AC3Filter
After I installed ac3filter I have sound :)

There's a new version of the CoreAVC (1.9.0) h.264 decoder, which will take advantage of nVidia's CUDA GPU programming framework. You need to have an nVidia graphics card, of recent vintage and have a CUDA-aware Windows video driver of at least version 181.69. The most recent beta driver (182.05) works fine (Just tried it).

<simplified explanation alert> What CUDA does, is it uses your GPU cores as mini-CPUs, to do calculations, in addition to providing the raw video to your display. Think of it this way. In a "normal" computer setup, the CPU would have the responsibility of the math to create a wire frame of a 3D object and the GPU would handle coloring it in. In the case of a decoder, normally the CPU would spend it's time turning the file's contents into pixels and the GPU would just worry about painting the pixels on the screen. CUDA allows the graphics card to "help" the CPU with the decoding.

There's also a new version (1.1.1) of the CUDA-based h.264 encoder, BadaBoom:

The trial is full-featured and expires after 30 encodes.

I've been playing 5DII and AVCHD clips all night with CoreAVC 1.9.0 with Windows Media Player. Really smooth, and the CPU is doing very little, it's all in the GPU - very nice. Now I have to try Badaboom.
