Please help as to get rid of this message and play films in normal color JJ
Are these dvd movie files possibly in PAL format and you are playing them on NTSC video format equipment?? That is usually what causes the Black & White type problem you are having. If they were possibly AVI files converted to dvd format, then the processing went wrong. Jerry
Thanks for repy i am currently burning in NTSC mode, i just tried in uk(Pal) and it was going to take 20hours to convert in nero should this be a longer process?? and also how do i fing out what one i should use for each dvd are they all differnt ? James
James, USA is NTSC UK is mostly PAL but can be NTSC too, Europe is PAL 20 hours is about right for PAL to NTSC - Get the DVD's in the country you live in - then you won't worry - Cheers,
thanks for help. I still am stuck burning SVCD's though they also come out in B/W is there any way to change this please ? I have sorted the DVD prob and now burnign in PAL thanks for that JAmes
