How can I save movie files to MPEG?

I have VV 3.0 and I got a serial for it, thought it was the full version not a demo and I can do everything on there but save videos as MPEG 1 and MPEG 2? After that I also got a crack from kazza for the MPEG but all it did was give me a serial number?

Was that serial the one I was supposed to enter in the beganning?
If so can I just uninstall it and enter the mpeg serial or is there a way to enter now in the menu somehow? Thanks

Just curious ... did you pay for the serial number? ;)

When you start up Vegas it should ask you if you have a serial number or if you want to run in demo mode. When you enter the serial number it will go through a registration process which is quite fast, simple, and automatic if your computer has internet access. If you don't have access on that computer then there are a couple of alternative methods that involve contacting SonicFoundry for an activation code which will unlock all of Vegas' features except for MPEG/MP3 decoding/encoding. This requires a separate registration which is also quite automatic if you have internet access. If not, then the first time you try to encode to MPEG/MP3 you'll be given the opportunity to contact SonicFoundry again to obtain a second activation code. This code is free if you own a license for Vegas and will fully unlock the MPEG/MP3 functionality.

More to the point and less polite - you have to purchase the application in order to utilize all the features.

Advertising the fact that you d/l'd a crack....I can get behind your being honest (in the telling part) - but I don't think anyone in this forum is going to help you crack the software.

Best suggestion I could offer is to purchase the program. It is sure to work for you.

I bought it off a friend, I am very new to this so I dont know a too much about VV? I thought I paid for a full version and now after going through all this bs he tells me to just D/L kazza to unlock the mpeg? I paid money for this and I think its unfair but I guess thats what happens when you deal with people who you "think" are your friends. If I new I could just order VV I would of to save me the hassle. If you guys can help me that would be nice but if you are going to insult me I will just leave and uninstall VV and buy something else. I can do everything on VV but render as MPG, thats all I am trying to find out and I am about to give up

Well it is up to you if you feel you want to report someone - but I don't see where he work having anything to do with you purchasing software from him. If it was legal to start with - he would have the serial number.

As for insults...I don't recall anyone insulting you. I surely didn't.

But if that's the way you took it well there is nothing I can do about it. But...regardless of whether you purchased bootleg software from someone or not - I stand by what I said in saying that I don't think anyone on this site is going to help you crack VV.

Consider it a lesson learned - purchase the valid software - and call it a day.
