Premier Elements ? Sony Vagas ? Encore ? Why on earth did you go with PowerDirector
Anyway Cyberlink somehow manage to create excellent applications (PowerDVD) but theyre pretty clueless when it comes to customer support , Have a look at they're forums im sure someone has managed to disable them.

If the only ad they have is in the 'burning' window then no big deal. Now if there was an ad when the program starts and/or a small ad on the top or side of the main window then its a big deal.

The ads are even on my Works 9 provided with the computer-
However as soon as my trial of MS Office is over I will install Open Office-.
But now I can see ads in a freeware version but not when you pay 100$ for it.

That makes sense, but as usual it's only screwing the paying customers. Pirates will be able to download a patch to remove the ads so in the end they are getting a better product then the paying customers do. I understand why software companies are doing this, I really do. However, there just has to be another way because it's not fair people who are decent enough to pay for the software are getting punished while the ones pirating it are getting away scott free.A lot of software produces are doing this as a way to make revenue from their software that gets highly pirated. I guarantee you that for every copy of that software they sell there is 6 being pirated. And every pirated version will contain cracks or keygens to unlock it to a full version. That is why they keep the ads in there regardless. Its the only way to make money from the pirates because no mater what they will get around the copy protection to activate it as a full legitimate version.
Not that I'm saying its right, I think its despicable especially for real paying customers to have to view ads when they pay $100 but I'm just explaining why they do it.
