Hi all,
I am currently working on a PAL version of a project. Original footage was NTSC but I rendered it with the DVDA PAL WIDESCREEN template in Vegas. I had 12 videos and they were all rendered eith the same template.
I then created a PAL project in DVDA and I know that by default the region setting is set 0.
The resulting DVD played fine on my computer but now my client has taken it home to review it tonight, he just called me to say that his DVD player is telling him that "the DVD is set to the wrong region" and of course he doesn't play it at all. He has a year old Sony player so I guess it shouldn't be a problem.
He was supposed to try it on his laptop and so far he didn't call me back so I guess it's playing fine on his laptop.
Did that happen to you at some point ?
Why would his player tell him it is the wrong region when I didn't fiddle around with this option and let it to default value of 0?
Do you think since it is in PAL the player can't read it and just thrown in an error message even though that error message didn't apply?
Should I have set a region number since it will be for the European market, I was under the impression that recent players can both play NTSC an PAL.
Thanks,
Phil
