I have to consider a third possibility: that someone steals (copies) the
software from my client, which - since the client does expensive things
with the software - might come very expensive for the client and is for

Basically Director always tries to use every clockcycle available, to be
better able to respond to events.
Question time: are you running your app with "animate in background" on or
off?
If it's on, try if setting it

do I also need Sorenson Developer Edition to do this or does anyone know of

Yeah, I'm not worried about the cost (hell it's $50 dif anyway) - just
more about compatibility. Personally I'd go for quicktime (it's only mpg1)

then you will know the path to your PDFs (if included on CD), as well as the path to
