    Thank you, bigh.

    How you acess these background packages?

    I can not find any one of them inside DAZ Studio!

    I have found only 4 background packages using Mac's finder.

    I checked again and " Movie Maker is not compatible with DAZ Studio 4.x or higher at this time."
    So you need DS 3 to use it .

    I have tried to re-install the missing background packages with DIM.
    And I found nothing was downloaded.

    I wish some of these "not compatible with 4.x" products would either get updated or be taken off the store.
    I've been waiting for OptiTex's Dynamic Shapes (http://www.daz3d.com/controllable-dynamic-shapes) to be updated for a while now, I even emailed them asking about it through their website but with no response :(

    I understand what you are saying - but some people still use DS and DS 2 and DS 3

    I don't think it will be updated - the person making them has move on to other thing .

    Yes, there is both .ZIP and .EXE .
    But I think the DIM should download and auto-install these background packages.
    So, I think these Background Packages must have something wrong.

    they were made to work with Movie Maker - they work for me using it
    the background files are so big I don't think they would working in much else .

    They don't have anything wrong.
    You just don't seem to understand what they are: Movie maker background packs are add-ons intended to use with Movie maker, not regular backgrounds. You can't use them without Movie maker.

    let me add - if you are not going to use Movie Maker - I would get my money back .

    How come I have these 4 background packages installed without "Movie Maker" installed?

    The following image is snapped drom the inside of the DIM.
    You can see there are 4(5) background packages are installed.

    Oh you can install them, that doesn't mean they will work.
    Just like you can install a texture expansion for clothes you don't have, but won't be able to use them without the base clothes.

    The backgrounds packs are new "nodes" which can be used by Movie Maker. Installing them means just copying the node files on your hard drive, so there's no reason for that install not to work.
    To use them however you need the plugin (which btw is listed as a required product), they're useless without it.

    So unless you plan to use DS3 and buy the plugin then you should ask for a refund.

    I bought the updated plug-in...around $26 from Dreamlight site....it came with the sample scenes...they work. I bought the prison set and it works. None of the sets designed for the earlier version of Movie Maker work.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, pete.c44.

    I also found that some background packages can not be auto-downloaded using DAZ3DIM.

    Ex.
    Movie Maker Space Battlecruisers Background Pack
    Movie Maker Temple Ruins Sunset Background Pack
    Movie Maker The Atrium Day Background Pack
    Movie Maker Under Siege Day Background Pack

    I finally found the problem.

    The download filter of DAZ3DIM had stopped the downloading of these background packages.

    These missing background packages have been tagged as "for DS 3 and DS4"!
    (There is no reason that they are classflied as DS3 and DS 4 products, is there? )

    And I had allowed the DAZ3DIM to download only products for DS 4.5+ that the download of these background packages had been stopped.

    Dear vender,

    Please change the tag of these background packages to DAZ Studio 4.5+

    They should be tagged for DS4.5+, which is a separate option from DS4.0

    But you said you installed them? So that isn't why they aren't showing up.

    Thank you,fixmypcmike.

    No, I did not say that.
    I said that I have installed only 4 background packages.
    PS: I believe that these 4 background packages are tagged as DAZ Studio 4.5+.

    It is after I changed my DAZ3DIM's download filter that I can download these missing background packages.
    So, these missing background packages must be tagged as DAZ Studio 3 and DAZ Studio 4.

    Ah, okay, could you submit a ticket to technical support so that those tags can be fixed?
