TMPGEnc: Has TMPGenc mpeg2 trial ended with 2.56?

I downloaded 2.56 only to find that the MPEG2 trial had expired as soon as I loaded it instead of the usual 30 days :(

Does the trial period end if you had a previous version on your machine.

( I had 2.4 on mine previously )

Looks like I will have to buy now ! but I am still unhappy with some bugs, i.e. MPEG tools - I try to move the slider even after I start the video playing and it locks up.

Thanks,

Al

I bought the plus version, so I don't worry about that 8)

Thanks for the swift reply KWAG. I will probably buy it now if only I could solve the lock up with the slider in MPEG tools when viewing and cutting video.

BTW thanks for the excellent templates.

I made a nice VCD from your 2X 704 X 576 PAL template last night from video taken off a digi Sat receiver and the quality was superb.

All the templates I have tested work in my Cyberhome 528 Player great. I usually leave the 48Khz on Sat stuff as is.

if one was really really desperate to tweak the registry, one would go to vcdhelp and search for tmpgenc 30-day.
Hypothetically speaking of course, if one was to run the new *.reg file on say, a 2.53A version, it would'nt necessarily renew it for say, 2.54B. 2.54B, for example, would need its own registry tweak.
asta La, errr... hasta la proxima is what i meant to say.

About the slider problem. It works. But you have to wait, sometimes 30 to 45 seconds, before it starts playing. I guess it's a sync problem that TMPEG can't deal with correctly. Just slide to the point minus a couple of minutes where you want to start, and hit play. After a while it starts to play.
