Page 1 of Now then, heres an idea.....

ive a problem with pal output off a USA dvd disc right? I can view ok thru vcr but cant get clear vhs copy, probably cos ive pal 50 and need pal 60 (or visa versa). Now then, what if i got a "transmit video pic to any tv in the house" unit? only put my dvd signal int the transmitter and the receiver into the vcr? the output has got to be UK std.....I think, so it should transmit to the receiver the signal and then send to the vcr what it needs, a uk std signal! brilliant, and cheaper than a signal converter or new dvd or vcr...........what do you all reckon? (oritron dvd, region free dvd, good tv image, macro master on order)

hi m8 you say you can`t get a decent copy onto tape what is the picture like?

At a rough guess you probably wouldn`t get anything.

The video sender may refuse to lock onto a 60Hz signal and not transmit it. Alternatively it may transmit it as the original 60Hz signal so you would still have the same problem (as it would not transcode the signal).

Its a bit like trying to use a remote extender to convert a Philips remote into a Sony - they just relay the existing information.

I thought the oritron could do NTSC->PAL anyway.

heres the problem, ive some USA dvd`s from a mate, which I want to copy for backup purposes (of course). I can watch thru the vcr but copies have squiggly horizontal lines. It seems these are NOT down to macro, but rather the output being non-uk PAL (tho not NTSC?). everyone has a differenr idea, from dual band dvd`s - dual band vcr or signal converters. me? im going gaga............

I must say im suprised that a disc can alter the output of the dvd player.

sounds like you have the dvd player set to ntsc.or multi
set to pal and this will sort the pic out.
depending on the player either change the video mode or simple alter to pal.

hope this helps
