Funny thing, my own TV actually can display NTSC, PAL, and SECAM just fine. Which makes it a good test platform for me. The one this is for is a very close personal freind (and friend of the family type relationship, really). He's not as technical as me, far ,far more stubborn, and I promised him I would take his dvd, and return him something he could view. I've been unable to use the info (which I've since finally been able to independently confirm) to make a viewable dvd. I used bitedit to change hte bits on the .IFO files, but the resulting dvd won't play on my dvd player, it actually tells me ERROR. In big irritating letters. The fact of it being PAL coding is what finally made me decide to rip it. I got a good rip, I think, from dvdip. Acidrip, I must be doing *something* wrong, because it won't get past the first chapter. I haven't been able to writ the resulting rip successfully to a cd, and get that to play on my dvd player. I have to investigate more, about the formats it accepts. > > > Cheers, > > AS > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-multimedia > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-multimedia-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
