Cineform Decoder now in ffmpeg
nice job kieranrk!
https://medium.com/@kierank_/reverse...e1c#.tcm0sjtmi ffmpeg -codecs Code:
. . D.V.L. cfhd Cineform HD . . I know it's early but some early observations/test data UHD 10bit 4:2:2 cineform stream VFW decode through official cineform decoder (via avisynth, avsmeter) ~85FPS ffmpeg decode ~15FPS Last edited by poisondeathray; 2nd February 2016 at 01:25. |

Even if it's than give it some time and it will be way faster. Cineform can be faster than ProRes and because it's wavelet based than decoding to 1/4, 1/8 etc resolution can be blazing fast. It's quite useful feature to be able to watch 4K file at half res on very low CPU. You can't do it with any DCT based codec.
You should be able to decode 4K 60p Cineform on dual core i3 without problems. Original decoder is very fast, so lets hope ffmpeg will be the same soon. Last edited by kolak; 3rd February 2016 at 00:00. |

The FFmpeg decoder is not optimized yet, nor is it fully complete yet when it comes to all variations of CineForm, so yes, give it time.
From what I've been told by kierank, he thinks it can be made really fast.

If you do have files that don't play - please let me know.
Upload them here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/1087 |

Test decoder Cineform yuv422p10le:
Three films and three different screenshots output. Code:
for %%f in ("%~dp1*.avi") do ffmpeg.exe -loglevel info -y -i %%f -ss 00:00:00.500 -f image2 -c:v png -frames:v 1 -pix_fmt rgb48be %%~nf.png yuy422p10 RGB | size file: 83.961.528 --> color change yuv422p10 BT709 | size file: 77.174.536 --> color change Last edited by Jamaika; 12th February 2016 at 13:19. |

AFAIK vfw encoder uses these options to convert RGB to YUV when you feed it RGB, but it does not store these options nowhere in video.
This is easy to confirm when you read from vfw back as RGB, the colors will be different depending on what options are set (while typing I got feeling that I need to doublecheck this again). Btw from my research "use video systems RGB" has same meaning as "full range", can someone please confirm it. edit: I repeated my tests and now it looks more complicated. "enc:709" option is always preserved within video. When sending RGB it is used for conversion. When sending yuv (v210) it is just saved without affecting data. "dec:709" option is never used at all, instead it behaves like it is retrieved from the video. "enc:video rgb" option affects conversion when sending RGB but never saved in video (or never retrieved by decoder, I have no way to know). "dec:video rgb" used when decoding as RGB. So what it means for ffmpeg decoder, at least it has chance to setup 601/709 choice. Last edited by shekh; 18th February 2016 at 11:03. |

Re: the encoder.
Great stuff ! I can now convert some archived Cineform.avi edits encoded with the Cineform vfw codec (via AVISynth/VDub) to mov files for loading in DaVinci Resolve 12 (the Windows standalone version, now 12.5 beta). Resolve wouldn't even acknowledge the Cineform.avi files, but accepts the "re-wrapped" mov files just fine.

Are you sure anything has changed? Re-wrapping does not care about cineform codec (avi->mov conversion worked fine for me 2 years ago).
ps. Glad you found the solution that suits you

I only started using Resolve a few days back, and every NLE I used or tried-out before (that supports third-party vfw codecs) accepted these Cineform.avi files without any problem. So I hadn't had need to convert to mov files until now. Yes, I was delighted to find that merely "re-wrapping" to mov is the solution. At first, I figured the reason why these Cineform.avi files were not accepted by Resolve was because they lacked some "legitimacy" metadata - given that the Cineform.avi render files created by Resolve are (of course) accepted as are those produced from GoPro Studio and Vegas.
