Thanks Steve. Who, or what, are the three lady statues near the end?
We could use some of your cool weather as it's been warm and humid for weeks now.
Just to clarify - the registration key doesn't activate your software. You need the Product Key for that.
The registration was an optional "extra". Your software will work without registration but you will have to put up with a nag screen. But anyway 881887 will register it for you.
The archive.org link gives a very slow download which could be the problem.
I'm hoping '2ndtonunn' may be able to help you.
It looks like PPX4 may be available out there on the net. This site looks promising https://archive.org/details/serif-pageplus-x4
I didn't investigate further. Maybe it's too good to be true?
2ndtonunn - best not to post serial numbers on a public forum.
Anyway @tati has his/her own so doesn't need it. What is required is a copy of an installation file or disc contents. Are you able to provide that?
Are you sure that the key you have isn’t for a different product?
If @tati can give us just the first eight digits of the PK that will tell us.
881887 is a universal Registration code not the Product Key needed to activate the software. Do you still have your PPX4 Product Key?
If nobody is able to help you with PPX4 I may be able to help you with PPX5.
You need to install from the original installation disc or installation exe file copied from the disc.
Now my Video Preview is on the bottom and my Audio video tracks are on top. And I want them reversed.
View/Panes and UNTICK "Storyboard/Timeline at top".
Assuming you mean the caption for the section immediately before your fifth clue, I wasn’t going to mention it unless you did!
Yes I also spotted the misspelling but like Alfred wasn't going to say anything. Albert are you going to correct it? If it was me I would as otherwise it would forever annoy me.
Last Wednesday we made our way to Nymans, a NT property in West Sussex.
Thanks Albert, well done and something different. The only thing missing was snow 
My gosh it's Ali and she hasn't changed at all
Windows is nagging me to update my Win11 to 24H2. Fingers crossed it won't stuff up my software.
Yes the unlock codes are linked to your product key.
If your laptop has a new fresh install of Windows 11 Build 24H2 it could be another problem caused by Windows which affects mts files. This MS page refers https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/win … 888138e456
But I wouldn't have thought MPX6 would be affected as to my knowledge it uses the Dolby AC3 codec from Dolby and not the Windows version which, in recent years, many video editors have been using due to unhappiness over Dolby's licensing requirements.
I am having to live on pain killers at the moment
Gordon - That's not good. I hope your situation improves quickly.
I'm the other side of 80. 90 will be my next big one. No pain killers, just an assortment of medicines every day.
But living in a Retirement Village (Independent living) I've come into contact with something you don't see much of outside - dementia. I've seen residents go downhill with it and quite quickly. I don't know which is worse, have your body go on you, or have your mind go. It's very sad.
Something new. Come and meet a few animals https://vimeo.com/1034377818 Just under six minutes.
Let's just say Amy is awesome.
Thanks Alfred. I heard it as tent so wasn't far off. But even ten doesn't make sense to me. Probably a US expression!
Alaska 2011 - Thanks Paul. I wonder what the glaciers are like now?
I couldn't catch your very last word. Amy is a ??
Thanks Albert but you shouldn't laugh at the young oldies
Thanks for that ericlnz, did you put that on digi yourself ?
Gordon - Yes, a few years ago now. I used a small white screen and my Panasonic SD tape camera. I digitised all my movies. The quality varied depending on the original quality. MVP was used for editing, removing splices and adjacent frames, altering colour balance etc. The audio was on stripe but I had my original tapes to use. It meant stretching out parts the video to maintain sync, with frames removed for splices, and to correct any parts where I could improve sync. I was new to video editing and in hindsight should have switched off "temporal resampling" in MVP to avoid ghost frames But actually looking at my source avi I find that most of my ghost frames are where my camera shooting 50i has captured two different frames from the screen! My original films were shot at 16/18 fps.
Thanks Albert, especially the canal. The UK canal system was something that I read a lot about prior to leaving UK in December 1970. Fortunately much of your canal network still remains.
In Autumn 1970 I made a Saturday evening canal trip with friends out to Greenford and back. The return was in the dark and travelling was out in fading light. I shot some Regular 8mm film. It was my last UK film and here it is https://vimeo.com/50872591 "1970 movie of a Saturday evening canal barge trip on London's Grand Union Canal". Being an old 8mm film movie the image quality isn't the best but it brings back memories.
You are making what is simple very complicated. You won't "find" the unlock codes. They are just numbers in the very small file that's created when you export them. Instructions have been on this forum several times but anyway here is what you need to do.
Open MVP
Go to Tools/Options then the Advanced tab
Click on 'Manage Unlock Codes'
Click on 'Export'
Navigate to where you want the 'mfu' file to be saved and give it a name.
Back up the saved file to somewhere off your pc so you have it for future use, and where it shouldn't get lost.
To import your unlock codes to MVP on another pc or laptop
Open MVP
Go to Tools/Options then the Advanced tab
Click on 'Manage Unlock Codes'
Click on 'Import'
Navigate to where you've placed the file ready to import and click 'Open'
When transferring to another pc it's probably easier to put the mfu file on a usb thumbdrive for importing. Also note the unlock codes are tied in to your MVP Product Key. The codes won't import to a MVP installation that has a different PK.
As for VOB/Mpg - if the files audio is Dolby AC3 it will need unlocking whichever file suffix it has. Not all VOB/Mpg files use AC3 as some use MPEG audio.
MOB files? Do you mean VOB? If so change the suffix from VOB to mpg and other software should read them. As for the Dolby AC3 codec, export your unlock codes from your usual pc and then import them into MVP on your other pc.
One thing you could consider is trying to find third party codecs that MVP will recognise and use.
