Is the NewTek Video Toaster 2000 software available for download somewhere?
-
If it is, google it. Nobody is allowed to provide you links to warez here.
-
It's 'open' sourced now.

I think they allow you to download the source, but if you want a compiled version, you either have to compile it yourself, or pay for a CD.

I asked for the cd but got no reply.
Also that doesn't make sense. Why can't we use the software compiled by someone else? It's open source.
Also who would need Video Toaster software other than Video Toaster users?
-
OK, so apparently there is no way to get an old toaster board to work since you can't buy the software anywhere??

You can probably still buy it from Newtek and it shows up on ebay all the time. The Toaster was huge in it's day and there a lots of copies of the software and manual out there.

Call Newtek. I think it cost me about $45 for a CD.
-
I think they are not doing it to earn money but to help people like us out.
But like I said I can't find the latest software for Toaster4000&Flyer, Newtek are not answering to my email, I can not find the 4.3 CD and other installation disks and I don't trust ebay. :(

Call Newtek.

I have bought from this ebay'er many many times.... always top notch! Hope this helps. BTW, Newtek really let me down. :(

can open sourced software be sold?
also he has older version of the toaster4000 cd I'd want the latest 4.3 cd if Im paying 50$ for it.
-
MyVbay2009 is always turning over his goods and sells all versions of Toaster software at any given time. You might email him and ask if he has what you might want. This IS NOT a plug for any particular ebay'er - just trying to help. :)

Newtek had several versions of the cd.
For a toaster 2000 (read original card) the cd that is 3.5 is best for live switching.
the 4.3 cd was meant for flyer editing (read with flyer and drives)
Newtek stills sells whatever stock it has left.

What happens when they run out of the CD's? Should we start throwing the cards without software to trash? :)
-
IMHO, every card should be sold with all disks, manuals and extras that came in the box!

These cards are old (considered industrial waste by some). Usually the software is either lost or broken.
Some people are selling Toaster Flyer TBC combinations today and ask huge amount of money for them.
I was just curious to use one for fun and decided to buy these very cheap. (Despite being in Turkey) and the person who sells them does not have any software for them. Should I just not buy it? It's possible that I might not find one of these in the near future.

When toaster was new...every box came with floppies up to 45 with the toaster4000.
It wasn't until the sofware suite was at 4.0 did it start coming on cd's.
As no amigas ever sold with cd installed, it was an add-on.
some of The floppies for the upgraded toaster 4000 were hi-density disks.
So, anyone who had a cd... bought it from newtek and wanted to recoup money as they sent 000's on new toaster/flyer systems.

If you haven't bought it yet, find another seller who has the software with the boards.
As for NewTek not replying to your emails, you might have to wait several days. It is a holiday weekend here and many people in the USA have not worked for the last 4, or 5 days, but should be back at their offices on Monday. Also, Amiga support is low on their priority list, so you may have to wait for some additional days before a response is sent to you.
It was not that long ago that NewTek was still repairing Amiga Video Toaster/Flyer boards and still selling the 4.3 CD & floppy disk. I think that they might still be providing the same Amiga support, as I have not heard from anyone that they have stopped their repairs, or selling the software. Version 4.3 has no new software than the 4.2 CD had on it, but I believe the 4.3 CD and floppy disk allow you to install both version 4.x and 3.x at the same time and switch back and forth between which versions you wish to use.
I disagree with your statement that these cards are considered industrial waste and that most people that owned them have lost the software, or that it is broken.

I have seen two local tv channels dump perfect Amiga4000s to trash. (Wll I haven't seen it but I've been told so)
