I have just downloaded PhotoStory. I like it so far, but. Its the trial version, I want to see if its what I want. All works great til I hit the burn button and then I'm informed ""the function mpeg-2 is not available due to licensing conditions"" What does this mean ? I'm not very computer smart.
The licensing condition message is referring to two things.
1. The program is in Trial mode, thus is a demo and does not have the necessarily license to burn (burning a DVD or Blu-ray requires a licenses encoder, which is not made or owned by Magix) to disc the information of the project.
2. If this was a purchased program, the license for the encoder that is used for burning will require registration, even if you have registered the product. This is just because the encoder is manufactured by a third party.
So, in essence, you are getting this message because the program is a trial, unlicensed and restricted product.
