My computer AMD 1½ giga mega ram = 512 Vidéo card = agp 8x 128 mega ram DVD player = PowerDVD version 6 Region = France * We've got a diff television system here in France than in the USA. * My question Can classic old American movies recorded on USA type DVD be played in France ? Would there be a hardward or software problem ? Thanks in advance, G
US uses region 1 for its DVDs, while Europe uses zone 2. Thus, you need to change your region setting on your PC DVD to ensure correct playability. The problem is you can only change your region 5 times before its permanently fixed. To skip this you can use a program such as DVD Region free, that is an application that bypasses the region problem when playing the movie in most current players. Another choice is to take your region-1 movie and rip it to your HD with Decrypter and then either watch it from there or burn it to a good media disc. Or, make your DVD RPC-1 (that is region free) and no worry about that stuff at all. By the way, all this applies for your PC. If you are referring to a stand alone player connected to your TV set then you should either have a multizone DVD player or make a region free back up.
KoKoMo, Thanks sooo much for your complete, precise and most helpful reply. Copy/pasted it into my data base subject 'powerDVD' Your response was the best of the lot from several forums. There ar several 'cult' USA movies I wish to have - like 'The Maltese Falcon' in the original English and not dubbed-in French! Cordially, Georges
Je parle Francais, un petit! Quelquefois c'est difficile quand Je suis en France, parce que les francias parles trop vite pour moi! J'adore la sud de France, Monaco est fantastique, il y a un petit hotel en Grasse que Je prefere. Ou habite tu Georges? Wow, a little bit of french! God am I talented. LOL!!! Il y a beaucoup pour remercier je pense!
Messieurs KoKoMo et Pulsar, My English is good however you wish communicate in FR that's okay. Encore je vous remercie tous les deux pour des renseignements réf les régions/DVD. Suivant vos conseils j’ai déjà téléchargé certains logiciels adéquats. Pulsar, ton français n’est pas "de la merde". Tu te débrouilles bien. Comme tu connais bien le sud je peux recommander un petit hôtel plutôt sympa à «Hyères Plage» (Hyères est une petite ville au Sud de la Provence) où j’ai séjourné il y a quelques années. L’Hôtel s’appelle « Le Méditerranée » 8, av Méditerranée 83400 Hyères téléphone : 04 94 00 52 70 fax : 04 94 38 51 17 le.mediterranee@wanadoo.fr http://www.hotel-lemediterranee.com/ (Toute information de ce genre je sauvegarde dans une base de données) * Question .. ¿ À propos y a t il une différence sur le plan qualité film entre les deux versions "PowerDVD" ci-dessous ? POWER-DVD 6 2CH et POWER-DVD XP4.0 PRO-6 Si oui, lequel conseillez vous pour Windows XP et pourquoi ? * Merci d’avance, G
Messers KoKoMo et Pulsar, I put my reply in the wrong place in the sequence. Please ck out my message. It's 'below' the advertisement. Thanks, G My sites : http://jcmeylan.free.fr/ http://gcontos.free.fr/ http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jolly/
OH CRAP, what have I started here? J'ai un petit hotel que je prefere, mais, j'oublie le nom! C'etait tranquil et tout le monde sont super! OK, that's about the limit of my French! I can only talk reasonable tourist French, but I think that you wish to know which version of Power dvd should you get, well I only use windvd. Whether it is 2 or 6 channel does not make much difference to me, as I only really use my standalone dvd players (Pioneer & a Toshiba) for playback of movies. Pulsar PS J'ai trouve le nom de la Hotel, c'est La Bellaudiere!
Thanks Pulsar. I used google w search argument / bellaudiere hôtel / and got this HOTEL BELLAUDIERE 78, ROUTE DE NICE - 06130 GRASSE Reservation department Tel +33 489 884 005 | Fax +33 489 884 025 Must be yours ..huh ? Hotel located in "Alpes-Maritimes". Looks real good w home cooking too! What am I doing in Paris (wouldn't you like to know!) Hey, gimmie a freebee! * WinDVD is the 'other one'. Went to several forums my query which of two versions powerDVD was better. Never got an answer. Maybe KoKoMo knows. Would you pls ask one of the senior monitors of this forum.(only if you've got nothing better to do) Cheers, G
Yes it is a lovely little hotel, the people there are really nice, they don't speak English, but that is not a problem for me! I am not sure which version of power dvd is better. I guess it depends what you want it to do. Personally, I would go for the cheaper option, unless the more expensive has features that you want. Like I said, I am not too concerned about the features, as I only watch my movies through my standalones. Cost is also a factor, are the extra features worth it? Pulsar Votre Anglais est parfait.
Alors, on parle français ici dans cet forum? J'ai chez moi (maintenant je suis au bureau) PowerDVD mais malheuresement je ne me rappelle pas quelle version j'ai télechargé. Je peux dire que ce logiciel est formidable! C'est très facile pour utiliser et amicable aussi.
