Converting 1440 x 1080 to 1920x1080 at DVinfo.net

Larry Secrest · September 13th, 2012, 02:05 PM

Hello,

I use Vegas. I have an older version of Cineform, I capture from my HDV canon through HDlink.

If I upgrade to Neoscene or better version, will I be able to convert HDV footage into some decent 1920 x 1080 footage using the Cineform codec within Vegas?

Thanks
Larry

I have Vegas 11 Pro. I have Cineform upgrade (mid grade) and yes, in Vegas, you can render out to a Cineform 1920 x 1080 format. You may even be able to capture HDV and upconvert, but I haven't tried that.

How's the quality?

hdlink in the preference allow you to upsample hdv to hd size. check in preference, also in very old version of cineform. i remember to do that in an old vrsion of 2006

No, I have HDlink, with NEO HDV and I don't have the option to convert HDV to 1920 x 1080.

You cannot upconvert with Neoscene.
Just edit in native resolution then export to 1920.

Larry Secrest · September 17th, 2012, 07:29 PM

Ah, and you export to 1920 with what?

Ann Bens · September 18th, 2012, 03:59 PM

That depends on the end product
H264 for BD and Youtube
CF codec for an intermediate file.

Larry Secrest · September 19th, 2012, 08:07 AM

I know that.
What I was saying is that Cineform does NOT let me convert/export the final product to 1920.

Ann Bens · September 19th, 2012, 12:00 PM

That is odd, i can set any resolution i want.
Did you unlock the width and height and set it to square pixels?

When I go to render as, within Vegas, I select AVI, then the cineform codec, and when I try the option 1920 it tells me my app is not licence to to that conversion. It's stupid, I do have a bought version of Neo HDV ad HDLINK on my machine.
I guess I need to upgrade?

I'm afraid so. NEO HDV is limited to 1440x1080 even on exports. This includes the Cineform codec that is included with NEO HDV. You see, the native resolution of HDV is only 1440x1080 to begin with.

Note: 1920x1080 encoding is free with GoPro CineForm Studio. Keep NeoScene or NeoHDV installed, then install CineForm Studio on top for expanded, free features.

Ah, voila! Now I understand!

I only have Neo HDV, so I should upgrade to pro directly.
