Definitely exported audio. If I play it in VLC I get audio but not video.

A/V works for me for the vdub export in VLC. What version ? Try updating VLC ?

Wasn't it established earlier in the thread that VLC doesn't support third-party, and thus CineForm? It just slipped my mind when I was testing (and VLC is my default media player), but once I heard audio it was irrelevant. The file clearly contains both streams.

VLC used libav/ffmpeg libraries. I already mentioned there is an open source cineform decoder. But it's not optimized (about 2-3x slower, and there are documented artifacts in some situations, I don't know if they have been fixed yet) . It's good enough for preview purposes

prores support has been in libav/ffmpeg for many more years, so it's more mature on the both the encoding/ decoding sides . In fact , the quality is higher than certified official prores. But the tradeoff is compatibility in some applications. Some programs don't like the ffmpeg version (likely because of metadata)
