ntsc/pal

[sammy5358]

Brand new at this..........

rather than creating more coasters I thought I'd ask these questions first, then start burning if I can.

I'm using Nero and:

1. If I burn a PAL movie, will I be able to watch it here (Canada).


2. If the movie says 122 minutes, do I have to separate it first to burn it onto two cd's ?

3. I have many movies that won't play with The Playa or WMP.
Is there an exacting way to find out what the codec is and
then download it from somewhere ?

Thanks
Sammy

re pal:
i am european and that is what pal is for unless your hardware says it can play pal then you cant.

cd lengh, movie lengh usually i cut movies to around 400mb per cd after nero has done its job it end up about 500 but 2 cds of good quality is alright.

codecs cant remember were i got the file but theres one called nv43 if you use morpheus then go to the help in chat and then give a link to then nv43 file.

If you open your movie in VirtualDub....you can select
file ---> file information

Video compression gives you a clue about which codec the avi has.
for example:
KS MPEG-4 VKI codec V3
DivX codec 4.02
DivX MPEG-4 Video codec

My advise ...................... uninstall whichever codec(s) you are having now
Install a codec pack (this gives you also the ac3 sound codec)
Install the DivX 4.12 (answer NO, when asked)
Install the smr-patch

All of these can be found on the divx-digest software page

Hope this helps. (according to my experience you can watch 90% of all the moviez with this)
