Using Movie Studio 16 to burn to a DVD

I'm trying to use Movie Studio to burn to a DVD. The video file is created correctly but when trying to create the audio file I get "Deactivation not successful". I have both Movie Studio 16 and 17 on the computer. Both were migrated from another computer which is no longer in use. Movie Studio 17 will create both the video file and audio file but does not have the plug-ins from Movie Studio 16 that I use.

Are you porting your video and audio files to DVD Architect to create your DVD? If so, can you describe the steps you're taking and what resolutions and file formats you're porting to DVD Arch?

In Movie Studio, I select "Make Movie" then "Burn to DVD or Blu-Ray disc". I then select "DVD with menus".The video renders to a mpg file. The audio should render to a .ac3 but that is where I get the error message.

You could try nesting your project in Movie Studio 17.

I have a work-around - create the video file in Movie Studio 16 and the audio file in Movie Studio 17. The problem is that Movie Studio does not support all the same plug-ins that Movie Studio 16 does :-(. Seems like something simple that is not working right. I just can't figure out what it is.
