Thank you guys for trying to help, however, I am getting more questions than answers here and little or no help. Let me clarify something: my VIP design works now, however, I can not afford the license fee for the CPS so I am looking for ways to get rid of it or design my own. The FR reads 32bit from DDR of which only 3*8=24 are needed that is where the CPS comes in to discard the upper 8 bits and stream only 24bits to the CVO. Yes, I can configure the FR to send only 3 color planes directly to the CVO, all compile, but no video comes out!!!
Regarding the SD card controller (nothing to do with the above) Quartus/QSYS is missing the files I mentioned. Just Google the problem and you will see that others ran into the same problem. Please don't ask me if I know what I am doing, that is rude. Try to answer the question only if you can.

Shvitzer,
I am answering here because I have experience working with the Frame Reader and I never used CPS. Just trying to help. You have to find the root of the problem in using FR. It is parameterized using Nios II. Small Nios is free and doesn't use too much logic.
Regarding SD card I didn't mean to be rude. I just asked if you know what you doing. If yes then It is a quartus BUG and you should look for a fix. Check the Quartus version and look at the knowledge database. Probs you can find these files and put them manually to the Qsys synthesis directory as a temporarily fix.
