• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I purchased QuickTime Pro years ago, and have been exporting to MP4 quite nicely, since. I've skipped several versions of Flip4Mac because it worked fine for what I needed it to do: VIEW WMV. Last night I accidentally agreed to update Flip4Mac. Now I cannot export to MP4 without getting their stupid watermark, even from an MOV!

I see Telestream has done similar things before, I just wanted to put everyone on notice that they are at it again:

Problem solved

After trading several emails with Telestream support (and still waiting for a solution), I moved the <hard drive>/Library/Frameworks/TSLicence.framework folder to Trash, used Spotlight to locate any additional Flip4MAc files (none found), emptied Trash, and rebooted. For some unknown reason, TSLicence.framework was not updated last night, nor removed by the Uninstaller.pkg (located in <hard drive>/Applications/Flip4Mac) this morning. I was completely unaware of this folder's association with Flip4Mac, until the first response from Telestream support. After a reinstall of the latest version (downloaded fresh from the Microsoft web site), things seem to be working correctly. So if you encounter something similar...here ya go!

* "Accidentally" defined (for clarification of previous post): I was quite tired last night when my MacBook Pro informed me that there was an update for Flip4Mac - my Windows reflexes kicked in (trained daily at work), and I blindly/foolishly clicked OK.
