So, to be clear... at this point it is impossible to play back cineform encoded avi's in Vegas 9a 64 without purchasing a Cineform product? (No Neoplayer 64, right?)
Download the free trial. The decoder remains active forever. If you purchase you get the batch conversion tools and the encoder. The first users question only needed the 64-bit decoder, which he can freely get by installing the Neo Scene trial.
Fantastic. Thanks, Dan. I've got a boatload of cineform avi's in an ongoing project that I rendered in Vegas 8 with the vegas intermediate codec (cineform) that I've not been able to open in 64. I'll install the demo now. Thanks again.
