I too have had an issue with inframe....
Just been supporting a show where we are upgrading from V3 to V4.... Just to prove it would work seamlessly to production, I had to run One Mac with V3 and one Mac with V4. The only cue that didn't work in v4 (m111), was the one programmed with playmode 'inframe' and a specific inframe value. But it did work as expected in V3... It simply sat on the 1st frame of the movie - not the specified one
programming used inframe and a value in cue 1, then cue 2 changed the play-mode to once FW. ie still, then play
Our workaround for V4 was to re-program the cue in the Hog and used a manual 'mark' cue that preset the inrame by using 'playoncefw' and setting the inframe 1 frame before the desired outframe. (ie only playing one frame of the movie) Then faded up the intensity in the 2nd cue (static) and the 3rd cue changed the outframe to the end, thus the movie played from the inframe to outframe, after being preset in the 1st cue.
Cant remember what codec or other info about the file - not a lot of time to investigate - we just programmed around the issue to get the same end result.
SO - there is certainly an operational difference between inframe in V3 and V4 which causes inframe (and outframe) to not work as expected. However in this example I was able to play a movie from a specific start point using 'onceFW' and 'loopFW'
