I like the mesmerizing feel to this, Chay. I won't mention my oldtime intrumental called Minus One Toot Suite. Oh, there I said it again.

Thanks Marty. Yeah, I feel ripped off by CyberLink, particularly as I bought the boxed version with a disc, as I thought it was a purchase for life. What they don't tell you is that regardless of how you purchased the product it expires after X amount of activations. I was going to replace it with the latest version which is always in the top 3 in video editing reviews, but now you have to either rent the program or make a one-off purchase for the "perennial" version, which despite them actually using that term, it's not at all perennial as again the activation key can only be used an unspecified amount of times. One reviewer on Trustpilot says he's bought 3 version in the past and all of them have expired within 2 years of use. But it seems to be a thing now as earlier this year I went to use the scanner on my printer/scanner combi only to get a window pop up which stated that as the product was X years old the scanner is no longer supported! What really annoys me is that if expiry dates aren't specified it's illegal. But since the rise of the WWW such has become super-common. I was surprised that when I tried to use the installation disc for the video editor that that had also expired!
