Elecard provides good mail support. Get in contact with them. They will help
you resolve issues. You need to get rid of that watermark in the right
corner. If you have a blinking line in the left corner it can be resolved by
selecting YUY2 in Windows Media Encoder, Properties, Processing, Pixel
Format. They had me download from some other site and then re-register. I
told you it could be a bit of a pain to buy and register, maybe they prevent
piracy like that, as well as annoy customers. I found that the e-mail
registration went pretty well. I had to rebuild my system a few months later
and was able to re-register without incident as long as I provided that same
e-mail as I originally gave them. At that point I made a Ghost image of a
basic OS installation just with, critical updates and Elecard to avoid any
possible issue in the future.
