I downloaded an avi file, converted it to a video ts file, used DVD shrink and reencoded it as an ISO image file, it burned fine and everything, However, when I put it in the DVD player the message "Playback prohibited by area limitations". Can anyone tell me what this means and how I can fix this to make the disc work on my DVD player?
I don't know much about ripping and burning dvd's anymore but, that sounds like a region code error. Say I wanted to play a region coded 2 disk in a region coded 1 dvd player, not gonna happen unless the player is region free or region 2 coded. DVD Region Code Go ask nobrainer about that, I'm sure he will be happy to tell you all about region coding. Hope that helps any.
That is what it sounds like. When I reencoded the video ts file to an ISO image file I made sure it said region free. In other words no region limitations. So I'm thinking maybe it has to do with my DVD player or Tv.
I would think that if the media was region free, then it should play? Weird, I dunno man, look at the back of your DVD player and see what region it's in.
