RE: 2026 Manual doesn't agree with program - Split Photostory, etc.

Now I'm having trouble burning a disk. I have Sony DVD-R 4.7gB disks. I choose the AVCHD 1920x1080 NTST default and all encoding and I get a message about my graphic card needing to be updated because hardware encoding is deactivated?

RE: Problem activating Sound Forge 9 using new method

@rick-a You definitely need support to merge both accounts into one. I recommend you open a new ticket and ask them that you want to merge your old Sony login with your current Magix login. Hopefully the AI bot will then inform some human support

RE: Can't register SF-7b even with the key

Thanks very much for the link. I was encouraged to get it. I followed the instructions exactly, but unfortunately, my key was rejected as "invalid". I checked and rechecked the key and it was just as I got it originally from Sony support. This same

@Zoran-Angelkovikj Have you carefully followed ALL the instructions in that linked post? They clearly include details of how to create that Activation Code. Have you also read the whole thread and seen the responses of other users of Sony software?
