That crash is Adobe’s, if get those reports at CineForm we typically do forward them on to Adobe. Anything that states something like “[../../SRC time.ccp-105]” should be forwarded onto Adobe.
M2T importing issue into Adobe, is weird, we don’t add or remove support for native editing or M2T, we recommend converting M2T files to CineForm AVI using HDLink.
NVidia setup is that your NVidia card control panel, not through Aspect. In fact you calibrate you NVidia card without having Aspect HD installed. Open two video windows of the same video sequence (you will need Media Player Classic as WindowMediaPlayer won’t open two windows.) The first window will use the overlay, the second will not. With these windows open you can access the NVidia control to calibrate the Overlay surface only. NVidia control is accessable through the Advanced tab of Display Option control panel. Often NVidia installs a separate untility to set up the card, although that differs between models.
I don’t unstand the reload issue, are say a re-install of Premiere, that take ages, avoid that if you case. You will need to uninstall-reinstall Aspect HD if you do that to Premiere, fortunately the Aspect HD installer only takes a minute.

Please work with support as we are not seeing this. Also it is completely possible for the one and only overlay surface to be used for one window and direct RGB on the other. So it could still be NVidia issues.

Use the NVidia overaly controls to calibrate the video output levels. Normally NVidia defaults to the saturation increased %14, and the gamma off. Really it is a NVidia support issue, particularly as that make their pretty GUI nearly impossible to use. If you go call NVIdia support, ask them way they overlay doesn’t match the default RGB levels. 🙂
P.S. New software versions of all our Products where posted today.

Have you contacted support, as you issues are not typical? I did confirm that SD imports as 0.9 — likely a simple fix for something that broke between PPro2.0 and CS3. As for the timeline needing to render, that is not an issue if you going to immediately encode to MPEG, you don’t need to render the timeline, you don’t even need to put it on a timeline to make a DVD Export. That greening could be a color space issue, remember HD is 709 and SD is 601, mixing can be an issue in some conditions, but I’m not see it here. Please talk to support, as that is what they are for.

“Using 24p makes that simple except somewhere it
has to get converted back up to 29.97i. Where does this
occur in your flow? Also, isn’t AME the same software
that is in Encore? I just prefer to have all my encoding
done, by the time I get to DVD create… Personal
preference.”Premiere assumes you want frame blended when going from 24p to 29i when using Export Movie, to any format, and you don’t want frame blending. I just tested that AME now works in CS3 correctly with Alpha channels, so exportly directly works. In the AME select MPEG2-DVD and 24p (23.976p.) While technically all NTSC DVDs are 29.97, this allows the 24p signal to be created with the correct repeat flags for 3-2 pulldown, for much wider support form progressive DVD players–adding pulldown first then encoding to 29.97 will give you no repeat flags and often lower quality on your DVD outputs.

1) All crashes should be reported to CineForm tech support. HDLink has been around for a long time, and P2 media is pretty easy to convert, there should be no crashes. Support should be able to find the issue for you.
2) The NVidia overlay is not calibrated, that is all we are suggesting in the readme. Unfortuately each NVidia card has the Overlay wrong in some slightly different way, so the sample values will not work for all NVidia cards. This is not an issue with ATI or Matrox cards. If you don’t want to calibrate your NVidia card, you can turn off the overlay with Aspect HD and the color will be prefect.
3) That is not a good away to export a DVD. 24p should export as 24p, no fields, as Premiere don’t inject pulldown correctly (it is not a Aspect HD function.) The only reason a CineForm HD export is suggested is the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) had a bug with alpha channels and titles, under PPro 2.0. With CS3 (if you are using that) it should be fixed and you can export directly. I personal use 24p CineForm AVI file and bring them in Encore, as I still don’t trust the AME.

The CineForm RAW development control are currently with Premiere Pro only — clearly this will change, however that is why you are struggling in AE. AE will inherent the set you select in PPro. Here is a tutorial on CineForm RAW color processing https://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/Tutorials/PremierePro_1.html
