I just installed an upgrade for the converter, and the director was included. Can someone tell me what good the director is ? I've already bought converter and capture, but director says I don't have the capture installed. It's odd, because I've been using the capture for almost two years. It's registered and I have the backup disk. The only thing that I see the director does, is try to sell more software. Is that all it does ? Even after you've bought and registered a software product, director says you need to buy it. I know Applian wants to sell their software, but deceiving paying customers is not the proper approach. Does anyone else have this problem ? What should I do, uninstall all Applian software and start over ? Take my losses as a lesson learned, and never use Applian products again ? That's about what I'm ready for. The software is useless, if it's not recognized as registered.
