Alright. I have spent the past few days, literally, days, trying to figure this out. i will start from the beginning. what I did in the order i did it: - Downloaded a XviD file off of the internet (PAL) - RAR'd id to the .AVI File - Dropped it into FFmpegX for MAC - Selected output form DVD (ffmpegX) - as described on the software's webiste - left it alone for a while, came back, and it had been encoded (PAL) - I was thrilled when I was left with Audio and Video_TS folders - Burned a DVD+R and a DVD-R with Toast Toast Settings: - Data DVD ROM UDF - with DIsc Title, and respective TS Folders - Burn Speed was OK The resulting DVD will play with my apple DVD player just fine. When i use my Pioneer DV-525, which has worked jsut fine in the past with different forms of burnt media, including DVD+R, the image is black and white and looks like it has a "tracking" problem (hah back the VHS days, tracking) Does anyone know what could be at fault here, or what I should try different?? Could it be a case where my dvd player will only play NTSC, if that is it then why would it "half-ass" play my movie?? Thanks and I hope someone has some light to shed. Please respond or email me. THANKS
If you Play a Pal Movie on a NTSC DVD Player it will Play in Black and White so what you have to do is convert the Pal AVI file to a NTSC DVD.... Cheers
