DVD-RW Problem that I can not solve.. PLEASE HELP!

My burnt DVD-R's only play in Black&White and bottom of center on stand alone DVD-Players while they play fine on WinDVD (The burnt DVD's & The VOB's)


I've tried them on 3 different DVD players, I've tried 3 different RW media (Memorex & Some off brands), I've encoded with two different programs, I've updated firmware and drivers.. NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK..


I'm running a Lite-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S.


Everything seems fine from the PC point of view.. VOB's load great, DVD's play great, Everything is in color and in correct ratio when I preview after encoding.. But no matter what I do or Try its always black&white and bottom of center when I load in to my DVD player.

I'm running Windows 2000 with sp3 and opimized services... It has to be a hardware or software problem.. I'm wondering if I have some services disabled that are necessary... Any input would help me greatly..

Thank you in advance.

It sounds like a PAL/NTSC problem - are you sure you're encoding them for the correct TV format? Maybe your TV can't cope with an NTSC signal (or PAL - considering I don't know what country you're in)

think neversoft might be right....sounds like either your dvd player or tv doesnt support, or isnt set to play NTSC.

Seem to remember from my old playstation games that NTSC would play in black and white on a PAL tv....although most modern
tv's support both.

I figured it out.. All of my SVCD copies were PAL and it was giving me shit for trying to convert them to NTSC so I just kept them in PAL format..

Finally got them to convert NTSC and they work fine..

Thanks for the help.
