Everything working great

[fhoss]

I recently had my computer upgraded including installing Vista Ultimate. It was my hope to get a truly clean install of EMC9 so I started with a brand new and totally clean hard drive - installed Vista - then Office Basic - and then EMC9. My original version of EMC9 was a 9.0 version. After contacting Roxio and being assured that the version I was going to buy was a 9.1 version and would work with Vista, I puchased the full version on CD and this is the version I installed [turned out to be version 9.1.068]. So far - and I must admit admit I have not tried every application - everything is working great with one exception. While my stored video clips [all mpeg] will play fine in videowave and all of the EMC applications I have tried, when I try to play them in Windows Media Player only the video plays - not the audio. [i keep getting messages about missing "codecs"]. I suspect that this is not a EMC problem at all but would appreciate any suggestions.

the OP said "My original version of EMC9 was a 9.0 version."

then he goes on to say "ssured that the version I was going to buy was a 9.1 version and would work with Vista, I puchased the full version on CD and this is the version I installed [turned out to be version 9.1.068]."

 

So he had one version.. then bought another. It really does not matter.. The problem is the code is there, but roxio is just not letting us have it

Get yourself the VLC Media Player which plays just about everything and if it can't, it will tell you what you need. Even plays ISO files. Windows Media Player 11 in Vista is a hog and slow because all it wants to do is DRM and license backups. Don't waste your time with it.

 

I completely agree Paul. I hope a program like VLC is always available. Look at what happened to Winamp.

 

Regarding codecs, I always install the latest from : http://www.cole2k.net/

 

BTW, back to XPP again ;>(

You could try here for the missing codecs. I don't run Vista so I can't say how good, bad or indifferent the pack is, but the older 9x/XP version has never given me any problems

You can tell what version of EMC 9 Suite that you are buying by looking at the UPC label. Rev b is 9.0 and rev c is 9.1.

how did you get version 9.1? I thought it was not out yet?

The 9.1 patch isn't out yet. The full program is.

[pking1977]

So, your saying you paid for the product twice. Your also saying that the code is done the fix the problem people are having, but they have not released it.

grats on pay for the product twice. I do not have money to waste like that.

That's not what the OP is saying - the ESD version has been 9.1 for a while now and some 9.1 boxed sets are starting to filter through in the stores. It's pure luck on a boxed set whether you get 9.1 or 9.0 as there's no way of telling until it gets installed.

 

The patch (whenever it does eventually arrive) will give you 9.1 - now whether it will be a patch or a complete version I don't know. (both have happened in the past with earlier versions)
