I'm a newbie and read thru a ton of these treads but I cannot find another example of this problem: I converted Rar files to an .IMG file. Burned it to DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD+RW via Popcorn and got the same exact results each time - the disc plays perfect in my G5 superdrive, but when I put it in any of my DVD players the image appears as if it's lost its vertical hold and rotates down at a high rate - maing it imposible to watch. However, the sound plays perfectly. What am I doing wrong?
you have a movie that is the wrong region code. See if the program you convert to DVD format allows you to force NTSC or PAL (whatever you need; NTSC is US and Canada, PAL is most of the rest of the world).
You're not the only one with the vertical hold problem. I made an .ISO image of a Region 2(PAL)music video DVD through DVD Decrypter with settings to make region free and remove copy protection. I need an NTSC version. The disc plays on the computer made on perfectly, but in my Pioneer DVD player, the sound is fine but I can't control the vertical hold. Very frustrating. I've been using -R discs.
@ butler there are conversion tools that can fix-up your file do a search as I am not to familiar w/ such apps I'm just saying don't give-up I remember seeing a guide for such a process ok I'm back here is a link that actually gives a coupl options but pay attention to bbmayo one of the most informative guys around and it's free http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/207123
