Well, I downloaded the trial version yesterday to check out, and today there's already a new version out! Great timing! So, I bought it. So far so good.
Now for the problems.
1. The program recognizes my CDRW drive, but keeps telling me to insert a blank cd and won't go any further. I have CD-Creator 5.0 loaded, and it works fine with the drive. The drive is the "Smart-And-Friendly Racer", I'm running W2K-SP2 with 128meg RAM.
2. So I create the mpg file on the hard drive and use the VCD feature of CD-Creator to burn the disc. Inside of CD-Creator, the MPG file looks like a tv that has completly lost horizontal hold. When I put the VCD in my DVD player, it doesn't recognize it as a VCD. I have burned VCDs with this drive and software before that did play. The file will play in MediaPlayer however.
I tried to download the MPEG plugin upgrade, but it wouldn't recognize my serial number, and I'm betting it's an older version that what is included in 2.0 anyway. :)
So, otherwise, it's a great program so far. I've been using IntroDV that I got with my Canon Optura-PI. Speaking of which, could that be the problem? The optura is a progressive scan camera and therefore does not need de-interlacing. Could that cause the problem?
Thanks for the help.
