Bidunno Sean. I bought my serial online (unlocked the trial) and it worked just fine. If you're sure you're not doing some zero-oh switching (and surely you would have figured that out), I'd say it's support time. Annoyingly.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

If you're sure you're not doing some zero-oh switching
Nope. None of the letters could be confused with numbers, and none of the numbers could be confused with letters.

Wow, that is annoying. I got my iWork from the Apple Store in the retail packaging and it worked without a hitch. Sorry you are having issues man.

I started this over in Boxed Set, but since nothing is ever easy for me:
Ahemming help.
I dl'd what I needed from mininova using u-tor...
I dl'd the vlc player to play the video.
Nothing happens.
But, beyond getting it to play in the vlc, I need to be able to convert the file to an avi or mpg or something not a torr... file

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Just out of curiosity, how big is the file you downloaded?

16 KB.
And to be honest, all's I need is the final scene of the second season finale of Eureka. My file obtained from Stage 6 has a huge Ghosthunters ad on the bottom that makes the scene non-salvageable. I even bought the ep off of iTunes hoping I could run it through Tunebite, which is great for removing the DRM from the music files, but notsomuch for the video (I don't have enough RAM, I'm guessing).
And I'm sure that after banging my head against the monitor and finally getting the video to play from mininova, it'll end up having the same damned advert on the screen.
I swear, occifer, I just wanted to make a Henry vid.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
16 kb is the torrent link. You still need to dl the video.
Sean try it without the spaces.

That's the torrent file, the little bit of code that connects your BT client to the tracker. The episode would be neared to 360 MB. If you went through the whole DL process, then the actual avi file is somewhere on your machine.

I suspect omnis is right, Juliebird. In my experience, an AVI of an hour's episode should be around 350 mb.

Okay, I'm confused. It took me five hours to get... a link? I'll do a CTRL-F to see if the avi file is elsewhere on my computer, but where I specified it to be there is only the torrent file, I guess.
