    OK, so I know DVD Decrypter has an IFO region information tool built into it, but this gives me the region information based on the movie itself. For example, if I have a vob/ifo/bup set of a movie and I use DVD Decrypter's IFO information it tells me it is Region x.

    What I need is a piece of software that tells me what actual region the DVD is, such as PAL or NTSC.

    I need to know what region the original disc was ripped form.

    I assume since DVD Decrypter has a region-free patch I am not going to be able to do this, since the ones I have tried all come up as Region - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

    Does anyone know of a piece of software I can use to get the region information without:

    Making the ISO
    Loading it into a virtual drive or burning it to a DVD
    Using DVD Decrypter in File Mode to find the TV System and Resolution information

    I have an image to show what DVD Decrypter can do, I need software that can do it for IFO files.

    Thanks for the link.

    It does provide a lot of information, but only works on the actual Discs. I rather like this program and will keep it due to the fact that it can identify quite a bit of information.

    I am surprised to see that it does not support Alcohol 120% virtual disks, only ATAPI (physical) drives work.

    Thanks again, but I need something that works on the IFO/BUP/VOB files themselves, not the finished product.

    Thanks again Borhan. This time I found exactly what I needed.

    I am not sure if VobBlanker can do it or not, but a different tool that was linked from that same website, PGC Editor, works perfectly.

    I load my vobs into PGC Edit, double click TITLE 1 (or any other), this gives me some information at the top: like fps. 29.97 (30) means NTSC, and 25 fps means PAL.

    I can also go to the Streams Attributes which tells me the Video Stream is NTSC (720x480) and MPEG-2 VBR.

    Excellent program!

    Cheers!

    Thats great mate.

    If the program is not on the aD software database why don't you submit it for others to use.

    Heres a link to how you can submit a program.
