It is highly unlikely that you would get any discounted price for your Dell edition of the software, unless Dell gives it to you. I thought that the version that you have, does burn video files.

sknis Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I thought that 10.3 was 10.2 but was modified to work with Windows 7. Look at this. Is yours the same? If not, it would be very helpful if you would post some screen captures of what yours looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely, it doesn't have a video option whatsoever. There are no options to burn mpeg or avi files. Perhaps I will return the software with full month back (shipping included) because in the description they have video files as an option. However, if I am wrong- which I hope- please correct me . I will be awaiting your reply mate. Again, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is OEM software that comes free when you buy a computer (DE = Dell) or other piece of hardware that provides it. Actually I think it is illegal to sell OEM software. Where did you get it?

I do not want to get anyone in trouble mate. It was from an online discounted software, however. Thank you so much. I will be contacting them right now, though, for a refund.

If it's illegal these folks have been doing it for years!

I've bought cheap Microsoft Operating Systems off this site.. http://www.viosoftwa...esqd04vu2gsf7u1 The OEM software is copywrited by the company. It is supposed to be sold ONLY with hardware to get the proper licenses to use it. Here are some discussions. OEM on Cnet; about.com and even e-bay. I guess it is a little like making a copy of a DVD for your own use or buying student versions of software. Still a lot of "discussion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi7omy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I think some of the OEMs sell off surplus software in bulk - that's how it ends up for sale in eBay or whatever. Look at the number of Maddog OEM versions still 'available' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi7omy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Be VERY careful with OEM software - usually it's a cutdown version that was originally saupplied free and parts which you would expect to find will be missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Archaedus
Does the DE version allow for burning video files? I'm starting to believe it does not. If this is the case, where can I upgrade for a discounted price?
Thanks mates.
