need to convert to cineform intermediate avi

I have premiere pro 1.5.1 and the HD mov file I have won't work. Reading the readme file on the premiere pro update I see that it converts HDV into Cineform intermediate avi to edit. So, I guess I need to convert the .mov file to a CineForm intermediate avi?

I don't normally do editing, and just need to convert this one file and probably nothing ever again. Is there a free way to convert this one file? Please excuse me, I'm very inexperienced with HD. :)

BTW, I don't know what camera it was shot on, but it was a local news broadcast so their camera must be broadcast quality.

We don't formally support PPro 1.5.1 any more, but it might work. Download NeoHD, and convert using the included tool, HDLink. The tools is fully functional for 15-days.

Can you do it without any hardware? I just need to convert the file I don't have a camera or anything. I downloaded the HDlink file and all of the options were grayed out. It needed hardware to work. ?

NEOhd did the conversion to cineform intermediate AVI! However, when I put it into premiere pro 1.5 it says there is an error in the cineform decoder. Any idea what the problem might be? The video shows up green when I put it into the timeline, and black when it's not.

Is there any specific settings I needed to put in to make it work when I converted it?

seems like we are no longer compatible with PPro 1.5. 1.5.1 shipped with a very old decoder, not compatible with the modern bit-streams. If you remove the adobe plug-ins any *.prm with "CFHD" in the name you may be able to use PPro 1.5.1.

I'm not sure if I know exactly what you mean. I found only one .prn file with CFHD in it and deleted it. Now when I try to import the file it says that the compression isn't supported.

Was I supposed to replace that file with something? That file is what decodes it, isn't it? Sorry, I'm just a bit confused. :)

Then PPro 1.5.1 is now longer supported.
