Chris, Thanks for summarizing on PAL vs. NTSC, and both TV(over the 'air') and digital(DVD), plus the anachronistic(at least so I think) HUE correction. The latter seems useful/needed when correcting for a skewed phase modulation situation (non-issue in the digital world) Also thanks to Alan for several suggestions for playing videos on Linux (that's what I want), and how to get region-free players. >As for Horst, I don't think the problem is inherently the region of the DVD, >since the other Region 2 DVD reads just fine. I think there is something about >the disc that his drive just doesn't like. RIGHT ON. K3b failed in no time with "Disk encrypted" msg (no funny drive searching and clicking like with disks that are damaged). And as I said, a simple cp command did fine with some of the files but failed on others. I forgot to let cfdisk look at the file system. Nor did I try a straight dd of /dev/xxx. I guess, encryption on a DVD is a different animal than with a file or file system image on a hard drive. In the latter case you can still look at the streaming garbage -- the DVD drive refuses to even deliver that. Conspiracy. >problem in the manufacturing of the disc itself. You should wait until you >have >seen it played on another player. YES. I'll know more by Thu. night -- I gave the DVD to someone with a region-free player. Great feedback from all!
