I'm not using a demo and I'm hearing beeps

Hi,

I have a fully registered version of VideoFactory and am
hearing beeps every few seconds. I have searched these
forums but nobody seems to have a solution.

People suggest that it is something to do with using audio
effects but I haven't even used any yet. I have simply
opened 1 .AVI file and tried to play it. This results in
regular beeps. I tried rebooting after I registered the
product but that didn't work.

When I open the soundtrack in soundforge, the beeps are
gone so I know it is VideoFactory making these noises and
not my hardware (SB LIVE).

Any ideas anybody?

Thanks,
Gooders

You are correct, when using the NTSC VCD template, the
quality is pretty bad. You cannot actually change much in
the VideoFactory settings for the Video CD template and
still have the results work for VCD.

Apparently to get "good" quality from the Ligos code you
need a "PRO" version, which is not available to Sonic
Foundry.
