DVD Region Code Problems

[SwiZz]

I have a bunch of DVD VOB files and I believe its in the PAL format, because I burned it and it gives me the "Cannot play because of the limited format" or somethiing like that, basically meaning that it has region encoding..

But I decrypted it using DVD Decrypter, and even after I burned it, I still get the same message. Could it be something done "permanently" to the files?

I always thought anything could be removed......but normally DVD Decrypter should be able to get rid of anything...so I'm not sure what the problem is....

The DVD which I burned can play fine on my computer, however on my DVD players I get the "cannot play" error...

Any thoughts?

Maybe because your DVD player can't play PAL?
You may need to convert it to N<a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=140 target=_blank>TSC</a> format.

oh...i thought just by decrypting it, that it would convert it to a format in which all dvd players can read it...

i'll google looking for tools to convert it....but in the mean time, if anyone has found a successful way to convert it, could you please offer suggestions? thanks...so basically a method to convert from PAL to NTSC

Hey,

Thanks for the link. I actually came across that site in my google search. Didnt try that method, however I'm using DVD Santa to convert from N<a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=140 target=_blank>TSC</a> to PAL...although the conversions been going on for like 4 - 5 hours now o_O

.......taking forever hehe but we'll see what happens.

Dammit, i wasted 3 DVD+R's burning some image files not knowing they were PAL....argh...i should get some re-writables to test first from now on....

There's a way to hack your DVD player to play any format, I remember reading it somewhere. Try searching on Google for info.
