Toast VCD Preview version expired...

[pandore]

Hi!
I'm completely new to all this but am trying! Am on OSX 10,2,6, have got Toast (5,2), Quicktime Player 6,3, have followed all the advice about Div Doctor and so on... I had trouble installing the extensions for Toast, but that seems to be alright now. The new problem is that when I try either Quicktime or Toast for encoding in mpeg format to create a VCD, at the point when I want to click "enter" to encode, I get this message : "This preview version of Toast VCD has expired". First I heard that there was anything preview about my version of Toast especially as a friend has exactl the same version and everything works perfectly. I've re-installed several times but nothing doing... Has anyone else had this problem and have they found a solution!!!
Thanks for any help,
Pandore

Personally, dont have the problem either.
You could 1. email roxio and tell them of the problem, im sure they can know EXACTLY whats causing it. Give them your registration number and they will most likely help you out, or give you an alternative method for replacing the copy you have (ie bad source for install)

Or, another recommendation is to get Toast 6 (as it has the VCD function built in, not requiring quicktime to do the exporting for you.

best ofluck

OK Galatica, thanks...
will try with roxio.
I'm attempting to use ffmpegX which you all seem keen on. So far, it's at 14% which is further than I've ever got before!
