To all users who met registration problem:

Please kindly check whether you run Sothink HD Movie Maker as administrator or not.

If it is not, please right click the program shortcut and choose “Run as administrator”, and then please unlock the program with the registration information.

Finally, please kindly close and re-launch the program to check whether the problem still exists or not.

Moreover, please make sure the UAC(User Account Control) of your Vista system is disabled.

Hope the above helps!

If you have any question, please feel free to contact us at support@sothink.com.

Installed perfectly to Windows Vista Ultimate 64, but when trying to add any kind of video files the program crashes informing that an unexpected error ocurred and informing that Microsoft will try to solve the problem!!! So it did not function anyway in my system, in spite of have been installed perfectly with no problems. I could not find the core of the problem. In another computer with Windows XP Professional SP3, it installed and ran perfectly. Has anyone any ideas that could help on this?

Thanks for the info. I read the rules and description at http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/about/ but saw nothing about when the programs had to be installed. Wish I had known sooner. I have downloaded many programs to install later but now they are worthless.

All software offered here on GOTD must be installed sometime during the 24-hour day it is offered. If you try to install it on any other day, the install won’t work.

This is because the software offered is ‘wrapped’ in a GOTD installer (usually but not always named SETUP.EXE) which ‘phones home’ to GOTD to check the install date; so you also require a working Internet connection. Hence, changing the date on your PC to try to ‘fool’ the installer won’t work either!

The whole idea behind GOTD is that you are getting genuine full-version commercially available software FREE, but it is only ‘installable’ for 24 hours. If you like it, and/or want to install it on another PC afterwards, the idea is that you will then purchase the software from its supplier.

I hope that helps?

I had no problems installing and registering on a Vista X64 machine.
I burned a DVD-R disc using various .mov/.avi/.mpg files. It would not play on my HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW GBC-H20L SCSI CdRom Device. Autoplay would load HP Mediasmart DVD player and it came up with “format not supported”, please insert a movie.
Then I found I had burned a PAL disc (default of the Sothink HD maker).

So then I burned a NTSC disc, and the same problem repeats.

What do you use to play these discs?

Is it possible to add a file to a CD or DVD that still has lots of empty space on it (just like some of us used to do on floppies)…
Thnx,
Dan
