Is anyone else having a problem getting GoPro Cineform Studio (free version) to work with 1080p files?
I have it working perfectly on an old laptop running XP but it just crashes if I try to open a 1080p file on my desktop system (i7-3700k running Windows 7 64bit). It seems to be a resolution issue with Canon H.264 because 720p files open fine and I have some old Nikon 1080p's that open ok too.
I've tried everything I can think of and even contacted GoPro but they won't even acknowledge my problem. I can of course still work with the laptop but it's very slow.
I have also tried to convert with other converters like Mpeg Streamclip but I get a 'license expired' error for the Cineform codec.
Hi I had little luck with this studio as well. I tried to encode from virtualdub and get the same license error.
I have a license for Neoscene but that doesn't work very well with premier cs6. It doesn't install the cineform presets so previous projects made with the cineform presets don't even load.
Andy, I have the same problem. On one machine it works fine, on another (newer one) it crashes with 1080p.
Use GoProCineFormStudioPC-1.0.1.60.exe instead of the latest version. This one will let you export in 1080p from VirtualDub as well as use the various configurations - they are greyed out in the latest version.
However this version of the studio doesn't allow import of .mov files. VLC can be used for changing the container ex. mov > mp4. Select Media->Convert/Save, select files, Convert->Save, click "Create New Profile" icon, change container, mark keep original video and audio tracks.
OK I think I've finally worked this one out :)
Copying 1080p.mov files to a windows drive causes CF Studio to crash. 720p files are ok! This got me thinking.
The recorded dimensions of a 1080p file from my 600d/T3i footage is 1920x1088 (with 8 lines cropped off to make it 1080) and CF studio (free) can only work with 1920x1080p. I tried re-wrapping footage, renaming, everything I could think of but still no luck.
I just tried again to convert something but instead of copying the footage to my drives I pointed CF Studio to the SD card. It WORKS!! :D
Must be something in the way my card reader or Windows 7 64bit handles data.
Weirdly the Cineform transcoded files are only slightly bigger than the H.264 files thanks to 1%'s GOP/BR build.
