I use CineForm NeoScene to transform AVCHD (from Canon Vixia HF S100) and MOV (from Canon EOS 7d) to intermediate AVI for editing in Vegas Pro 9.0e-64.
The manual in .PDF for NeoScene appears to be outdated, and the CineForm website yielded no answers, so I'm inquiring here:
Within the "Preferences" dialog box for converting files, under the subsection "CineForm Encoder Options," what is the purpose and effect of the option "I-frames only?" It appears to have replaced the manual-referenced item: "Enable Smart Rendering: This feature is for Sony Vegas users who want faster exports at the expense of larger file sizes. Select this option only if it fits your needs." I have the I-frames only box checked, and my results do seem fine, but I'd like to understand it.
