Long story short, fresh install of WinXP, pruchased Vegas+DVD 5. Installed Acid Pro 4.0f, installed 5.1 plugin, which worked previously with Vegas+DVD 4.

No AC3 save as option.....

Installed Vegas 5, DVDA2. AC3 works fine in those apps. Tried Acid 4 again, Now AC3 is listed as an option to save as. Click AC3, click save, and I am greeted with the Purchase 5.1 plugin dialog, requestng a key, or a purchase.

How do I get the 5.1 plugin to work? I tried uninstalling, clearing the registry of SF/SONY keys, reinstalling in different order (first Vegas/DVD then Acid Pro) I can't get Acid to create AC3 files.

I have run the migration tools from both the Sonic Foundry and the Sony program groups - that didn't help.

I tried reinstalling Acid Pro, telling it to use the SONY/SHARED PLUGINS folder. When I do that, ACID crashes with an exception when trying to use AC3.

Anyone know how to get this working?

I'm going to post this in all the relevant forums.
