Trial version is out of date.  When will 10.0.7 be available for trial?

I'm using the trial version (10.0.6) and found a bug burning single layer DVDs, also reported and discussed extensively on this forum.
Supposedly this is fixed in 10.0.7 (or so the release notes claim)  But I'm understandably skeptical.
I'd like to TRY before I BUY this $300 software package.
Q1: Does anybody know how to upgrade the trial to the latest version? I still have 22 days left in my trial.
Q2: If that's not possible, does anyone know Apple's plans.. are they going to update the FCPX 30-day trial webpage to 10.0.7 anytime soon?
Oh, by the way, Please don't suggest buying CompressorX for $49.99 as a work-around. FCPX is supposed to be able to do this rather simple job itself. But there is a bug. The whole point of the trial is to see if the software works. Currently the answer is NO, so I'm not going to fork over 50 bucks for some other piece of software based on Apple saying "trust us, THIS software DOES work (even though you can't test it yourself prior to purchase)." That is a non-starter.
Thanks

Hi Russ, thanks for responding.
Here you go: I'm not an expert, so this may be more info than necessary, but I'm trying to answer all questions in advance.
I'm using video files from two different HD cameras, both shot in 1080i (1920X1080, 29.97i), stereo sound @ 48Khz. Each contains their own audio-track from the on-camera audio.
I imported all the clips with the "create optimized media" box checked to create pro-res 422 files for editing. 
I synched them manually into multi-cam clips using a slate (which was fortunate because the difference in sound levels meant that FCPX's attempt to auto-synch failed), and cut & edited them into a completed project.
I know that DVD resolution is not HD, but I wanted the best original source material so I shot and edited in HD anyway. I know FCPX will compress the final result down to DVD resolution, and that's cool.
The completed project is 1 hour 50 minutes long. I added 68 chapter markers. (the project is for a school talent show which had 68 acts) Editing went fine and I'm happy with the finished project. My fellow parents are anxious to see the finished DVD.
So, after a week's work, I'm now trying to create the DVD image on my hard drive, for later burning to disks.
From FCPX, I'm selecting File>Share>DVD.
In the DVD window, the "info" tab is giving me an estimated size of 3.84GB.
This should fit on a standard single-layer DVD-R (capacity 4.7G (4.38gig), or 2+ hours of video)
There is no option to change any of the "info" settings, it's just standard DVD resolution (720X480, Stereo 48Khz, time 1:50:17:06, 2 files)
I click "settings" tab and choose these settings including "single layer":
Output Device: Hard Drive
Layers:  Single-layer
Disk Template: Black
When Disk Loads: Show menu
Markers: checked "Use Chapter Markers as subtitles"
Background: [a 970kb JPG still image]
Clicking next and specifying an external hard drive with 1+TB of free space, FCPX goes to work, and, after about 50 minutes, creates a finished DVD image file that is.... 6.7G's.
Whoops! too big to fit on a single layer DVD.
So, what am I doing wrong?
I sure hope the problem is me rather than the software, but I doubt it, since the same problem has been reported on these forums here, here, here, and here.
All previous posters reported the problem arising in 10.0.6, the same version Apple offers as a trial. The 10.0.7 version release notes state "Fixes an issue that could occur when creating a single layer DVD." But I can't get a trial of the 10.0.7 to test this.
The work-arounds which were posted in response to those earlier forum posts were either to use a dual-layer disc (non-starter, as most parents will want to watch these DVDs on their stand-alone DVD players hooked up to their TV, most of which won't play dual-layer media) or export a master file then use Compressor X. (which supposedly works but there's no trial version to verify this and I'm not up for spending 50 bucks to find out.)
So, can you help me? I sure hope I'm doing something wrong because I really want this to work.
Thanks so much.

    When will ffox 2.0 be available for intex cloud fx? I'm belongs from india.

    Hi manishyadav229,
    This device uses a special version of Firefox OS that is optimized to run on hardware with low memory and modest specification - version 1.3T.
    This device was just launched, and there is currently no estimate of when an update would be made available for the Intex Cloud FX device. It is also worth mentioning that, the manufacturers are responsible for the release of updates to devices.
    I hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.
    Thanks,
    - Ralph

  • When will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones

    when will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones?

    I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question.  VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands.  Write directly to the CEO.
    You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
    Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.

  • When will Adobe digital Edition be available for Microsofts Surface (Wondows RT)?

    When will Adobe digital Edition be available for Microsofts Surface (Wondows RT)?

    Probaly never.  It isn't available on any other tablet OSs. 
    You need to install 3rd party apps such as Bluefire, Aldiko, Overdrive or similar to read eBooks. (sometimes they have something pre-installed).
    Unfortuately some of these apps are not yet available for Microsoft Surface; 
    I guess they will be made available when/if Windows RT becomes a mainstream tablet OS.

    When will bluetooth 4.0 be available for Nokia lumia 920 ? 
    Every new device/gadget with bluetooth uses 4.0.
    Thank you.

    It will be available when Nokia announces it's update plans for current models. Until they announce anything all we can do is guess, my guess is early December.
    It's expected that more will be known next week so you should keep checking Nokia's official blog for more information: http://conversations.nokia.com/

  • When will Creative Cloud apps be available for Android?

    When will Creative Cloud apps be available for Android?

    Well that's fine, but Adobe generally doesn't read this forum, and "feature requests" don't belong in this forum either.
    Feature requests belong here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    By the way, I'd be willing to bet a huge amount of money that Adobe already knows there is demand for Android support, they're not totally clueless there even though some people think they are clueless

    Maybe never, but doubtful anyone here has any idea before Apple makes an announcement.
    We can thank the hackers and those more interested in making a few bucks by selling non-activated iPhones via eBay.

  • When will the iBook app be available for Mac OS X

    This to me seems like a no brainer.....   iBooks should be available on all Mac OS'.  Just seems silly that I can read it on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac.  What is Apple waiting for and when will it be available.
    B

    No one here would have any idea when or if Apple is planning on releasing an iBook app/reader for OS X.
    But I do agree with you. I would like to be able to read them on my Mac as well.
