5D MOV to Cineform AVIs Choppy Playback
I had a problem with this before and went to the Start Menu (VISTA) and Cineform Tools menu and set playback to fast. That seem to work a few months ago. BUT:
.....the other day I processed some AVIs and clicked on an AVI to play it - It played alright but was choppy and not smooth. I went into the Start Menu and set the playback to fast and it still was choppy. Any ideas? Thanks Harry

Ok after over a day and no response from Cineform - this is a bug? Does Cineform NOT work with Vegas 10? Is it my new deodorant or just my spelling?

Are you playing it back from within Vegas? Did you try playing the file with quicktime or windows media player with a different result? How many frames per second are you getting when its choppy? Is this a 2D or 3D file? Maybe we can narrow down the problem to one app. John |

Harry, I live in Nashville as well and work with Vegas / Cineform a lot. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I'd be happy to help you to get up to speed.

Ben,
I'd definitely like to compare notes with you sometime!! I've been working with Cineform and Vegas for two years now though I don't sound like it. :-) The AVI playback used to be choppy then I applied the ALL PROGRAMS - CineForm - Tools - Desktop Playback Fast and it wasn't choppy anymore.....This must be a CineForm problem becuase this is just taking a MOV raw - converting to Cineform AVI - same as original properties and trying to run that converted AVI in Windows Media Player. It plays for a few seconds, stops and then plays again and just repeats that through the whole AVI.

First off, you're running Vista. Dump it and get 7. It's cheap at Staples. Vista is a processor hog, and decoding Cineform needs your processor.
Also, the playback-fast setting simply sets your files to decode at half resolution. You have to restart the player application for it to take effect. Also, media player in windows 7 has some new properties that allow for better decode of video files, especially h.264. So anyways, what you're seeing is correct. Unless you have a very fast machine, do not expect it to play back at full resolution (desktop playback - quality). Almost all machines I work on require me to set it to desktop playback - fast. It's actually the reason I love Cineform. Instant Half and quarter resolution decode, so I can play my file anytime while still retaining the full quality for rendering etc. It's not a bug. |

Re: 5D MOV to Cineform AVIs Choppy Playback
In another time I swear I was able to set this to fast and play the AVIs smoothly. But it seems to not work anymore. I now have to render to see it anywhere close to smoothly. This is on Windows 7 by the way now.
