I should add to this that I have never heard of a computer DVD drive locking on a system (PAL/NTSC) the way they lock on regions after a few switches. The ability to play the signal correctly is built is, I thought. Has anyone else heard of this? --Judy
-----Original Message----- I just want to add my experience with this problem I'm distributing a French film "Murder of a Hatmaker" I received from the director DVDs with notice that they are Multi-zone, I sold some in USA to university libraries, I got complaints that the NTSC players can't read the DVD, I got our studio to transform to NTSC and I resent those copies to the university libraries. I know there was no problem to play the DVD on a computer, as the EMRO reviewer wrote the review after viewing the original multi-zone DVD on the comp, cheers Nahum Laufer http://onedayafterpeace.com/index.php http://docsforeducation.com/ Sales Docs for Education Erez Laufer Films Holland st 10 Afulla 18371 Israel Message: 2 Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 21:20:30 +0000 From: Deg Farrelly <deg.farre...@asu.edu> Subject: Re: [Videolib] PAL and SECAM To: "videolib@lists.berkeley.edu" <videolib@lists.berkeley.edu> Message-ID: <dac3018aad33dc41b8dca4808569d8fb243ff...@exmbt06.asurite.ad.asu.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thanx, Judy I guess I missed the part of the conversation about the video being in VHS. Completely off my radar now. Even if a computer DVD drive will play a PAL DVD, I have heard that after X number of uses the drive will lock onto the non-NTSC standard and will thereafter play ONLY that standard. Of so I have heard. -deg ******************** VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.
