I might be interested if Creator 9 if it is competely backward compatible with Creator 8 project files, etc.
In other words it must be able to load all project and other files saved by Creator 8 applications.
Its okay if Creator 9 automatically "upgrades" the Creator 8 project files when it loads and performs "Save As",
even with new *.xxxx file types so they cannot be loaded again be Creator 8 because of the new Creator 9 functionality. I am particularly interested in Creator 8 *.dmsm and *.dat for VideoWave and *.dmsd for MyDVD.

I would be best if Creator 8 was actually upgraded to Creator 9, instead of a new fresh start installation
leaving Creator 8 intact.

Thanks, Bernie

9 will not update all of your existing 8 projects. It may be 100% backward compatible with your projects , depending on what effects, transitions, etc. you used in them. This goes for both MyDVD and VideoWave projects.

Some have had success, some have not.
