sonic cinevision, not installing

[runLoganrun]

tried installing cinevision 2.02, but it says that my hardware configuration <something> not supported.

I thought this was strange as aside from the processor, I meet all the requirements listed, it's an older version of the program. it lists something like 2 x quad xenon processors though, which i def don't have. is this why it's not installing?
does anyone use this software for blu-ray re-encodes?
is it very complicated to use?
is there another way I can install it?

i'm trying to grab a still older version 1.01 to see if that will work, it says it's just made for xp though.

thanks!

Hi!tried installing cinevision 2.021) Have you emailed your question to the publisher from whom you purchased it?

2) Have you plugged in the dongle?

Hi,

1) Cinevision does not install on XP Home (with and w/o dongle, the latter one is illegal no need to stress this).
- you can trick XP Home -temporary- into Professional version, install and convert back (legal in some European countries), PM me on this or read German computer magazine 'ct (an article in 2008)

2) the AVC encoder of Cinevision can be easily replaced by x264, no need for the software at all

3) The VC-1 encoder is the only one I used so far, this one is usable for HD-DVD (I didn't test BD), reasonable good for 720p DVD-DL HD DVDs

Recommendation:
Use the freeware x264 for your encoding it has the right profiles to encode proper BD video or use BD rebuilder to save you a lot of hassle ;-)

hey, thanks,
yeah, I'm running vista, but i had come across an older version that said xp on it, maybe it was modified....

what do you mean by x264 freeware encoder? I have a copy of a new version of x264.exe, but it was just for use with an application.

BDEdit looks like it will accomplish what I want, but I can't figure out how to use it, i read one brief tutorial on it, talking about resizing using this hexadecimal chart, and matching up certain numbers, I stared at it for probably an hour, it made no sense to me at all. The thing with BD Rebuilder is that in order to keep the menus, you have to keep all the extras and trailers as well, and compressing all that seems pointless, and it detracts from the movie quality, currently there's also only 3 size settings you can use, it's really aimed at ppl burning to disc it seems, not so much for me.
