Hi,
Well the short answer is that the video card on your system is not included in the filters internal list of graced video cards.
Basically, the software is warning you that some filters, such as those that use hardware rendering, ie, rendering on the video card, may not render the expected result. It is also providing you with the option to press yes to continue and work with the software, or not.
Most of the time this error message can be safely ignored and you should be able to work with the filters and render the expected result without any problem. If, however, you see problems with filters from the OpenGL category or the 3D Objects category then this is most likely the reason why.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Peter.

First, I just got off the phone with Tyler and I bought BCC for Vegas. Another more interesting error popped up later. Just hours after installing the demo version, I received a “Demo Expired” message.
My editing PC and its’ ATI card are more than three-years old, so it’s likely that both will be replaced soon.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Steve,
Not totally sure why you saw that trial expired message after only a few hours of use – it’s supposed to display the message 2 weeks post installation of the software. Anyway, glad to hear that you liked it enough to make a purchase – thanks and I hope it meets your demands.
Remember, should you run into any issues with the product, you can get in touch with our support group via email at support@borisfx.com. Or post to this forum – someone will always provide an answer.
Cheers,
Peter.

I *may* have loaded a demo of Boris sometime in the past – I really don’t recall – but, that would explain the demo expired error.
FWIW – The quality and promptness of support from Boris, both pre- and post-sale went a long way in favor of making the purchase decision.
