With Connect HD 1. 8 (released a few days ago) you get these features over the CineForm components in the stock Vegas 6.0.
1) Quality controls for the codec.
2) Progressive vs Interlaced encoding options (great for CineFrame modes.)
3) reverse pull-down for 24p extraction on the fly.
4) Real-time capture conversion with scene detection.
5) 4:2:0 to 4:2:2 upconversion filter
6) Frame rate and audio pitch controls for 25 to 24 conversion.
7) Compatibily with After Effects and other external Compositors.
8) M2 Lens support for 180 degree image rotation on capture
9) The latest image quality (with the new enhanced V2.0 encoder.)
10) DirectShow based encoding for more speed and quality.
There is probably much more, but that is a good start.
