[Videolib] PAL question

2011-12-23 Thread Merle J. Slyhoff
We had a request for a dvd from France.  The company responded that it is in 
PAL Region 0.  They seemed to indicate we would be able to use it here.  Our IT 
department isn't sure if it would work.  Does anyone have experience using 
Region 0 dvds?  Your help is appreciated.  Thanks!  And happy holidays to all

It just depends if you have a multi-system DVD player or not. In Europe,
they almost all are. in the United States, some are, but usually you have
to specifically purchase one.

You'll be able to play this on a laptop, most likely.  Otherwise, as
Dennis has said, you'd need a code-free (all region) player

Re: [Videolib] PAL question

2011-12-23 Thread Bob Norris
Just to clarify Dennis' response a bit, there are two parts to the equation. He 
is referring to PAL. That is a television format (NTSC in USA). You need a 
mulit-system DVD player that will play PAL on US TV's. Or you can play a PAL 
DVD on most computers.

The region 0 refers to DVD region protection. 0 is open so would not stop you 
from playing it on a DVD player manufactured for the US. Feel free to contact 
me if you need more detailed info.

Happy Holidays all.

[Videolib] Christmas, Cowboy and Cake

2011-12-23 Thread Nicholle Gerharter
Hi all,
  Can you help me identify this movie?  The patron thinks it is late '60s or 
'70s, was certainly in color.  The title *may* be something like "Shorty's 
Christmas" (Shorty being the name of the cowboy).

A cowboy is headed to a Christmas party, but keeps getting delayed.  He wants 
to bring back a piece of cake for a friend left at home.  He is stopped several 
times on the trip, including once where he helps a woman with children get 
ready for Christmas.  When he finally gets to the party, everyone is gone, but 
there is one leftover piece of cake.  He puts the cake in his coat to take back 
to his friend.

  Thanks!
 Nicholle

hey Deg. Yeah that's a great choice VLC I use it all the time thanks for 
mentioning the PAL aspect of the codec. I had not paid attention to that, but 
I've had VLC save me in many instances. I think they really work that codec, 
correction codecs, into a nice package, collectively created.
