I didn’t say anything about running Activate as an Administrator under Vista, because #12, Bongo, mentioned that way back near the top of the comments (with UAC, Vista doesn’t like for some registry entries to be modified). As usual, many later posters don’t read the earlier comments. I also didn’t mention that Flash Video MX Std (or more correctly, an update routine) accesses the Internet to check for updates.

The menus are non-standard. As others have mentioned and posted screenshots, here’s the System Menu (upper-left).

Here’s the file-open dialog (folder icon to the right of the Import Video textbox). Note that there’s an error in the interface description. The hint says that this is for the output, which is true for later screens, but not for the input screen.

Here’s the editing and effects options (I’m not going to go through the tabs). Note that information about the input media scrolls above the file as it plays.

The big “Back” and “Next” buttons at the bottom are how you move through the various stages of setting up to convert and export. Here’s where you set the export format and options. Notice that you can change where to export to with the folder icon to the right of the Export To textbox (I assume that the textbox is also active, but I haven’t checked it; the folder icon works).

Here’s where you can select skins. Again, I’m not going to go through the tabs.

The final screen shows the options that will be applied when you convert by pressing the Start button.

Vista screen captures via NTWind WinSnap. User name removed/modified via Paint.NET (it supports WinSnap’s PNG transparency).

I thought it was a nice touch that after installing and starting the program, it opens up a helpful page to get you started, on the software website. I am always more favorably impressed when a program’s home page has good information on getting started, program features, usage instructions or tips, faqs etc. Everytime I dl a GAOTD program, I visit its homepage and in the doc I save for the program, I include the homepage link and info from the homepage so I can easily pull up my doc and go back to the homepage at a later time if I need to.

Thanks for what looks like a nice useful program! Even though I am not working on videos right now, I know I will be in the near future and then this will get plenty of use!
