John in Brisbane Tech: DVD & NTSC/PAL (region free) (36) RE: Tech: DVD & NTSC/PAL (region free) 22 Jan 05


I;m such a newbie in relation to Video that I have heaps of questions, but just a few to start with. I have a Euro brand DVD recorder, two PS2's that play DVD's and a PAL/NTSC TV. I also have a DVD player module for my PC that I've never installed.

The DVD recorder has all sorts of inputs, including S-video and the Euro standard (large) rectangular plug and sockets.

- If I PLAY a commercial DVD on my PC and provide an S-Viseo input to my DVD I assume that it will NOT allow me to record it?

- From what was said above, if I RIP the commercial DVD and then connect S-video, I gather the DVD WILL let me record it.

- I don't own one but if I were to connect a small TV transmitter to the output of a PLAYING device, PC/PS2 or another DVD player, will the copy protection gizmos stop me from recording this DVD via my TV aerial input?

- My uninstalled PC Benq DVD player has a limit on the number of times I can change Region number. Is this what the Region Killer software defeats?

Enough for now. Regards, John
