How do you convert A .PDI dvd file to a region 1 format[vob

[PROJECT MAYHEM]

when the PDI file is burned onto dvd the player will say it is not a matching format and not play....how do i fix that?

never heard of a .PDI file on a DVD-Video. Is this file located on a backup copy of a movie DVD? a homemade DVD? Where is this PDI file located on the DVD? what is the full file name?

Did you use IC7 or DVD Decrypter to burn the .pdi files. You know you can extract the files into either a VIDEO_TS or .img and mount it with Daemon to test the files before you burn them.
You need to give a little more info on the process you used to gt to this point.

you need to extract the PDI and make a VIDEO_TS from it on your hard drive first

this will download the program directly..go up the chain for the website

what is a PDI file?

[dcsos]

IT is a SEGMENTED IMAGE FILE
Its an Iso thats been fixed for FAT-32 (segmented so it don't get too big)

Its the same as
.ISO
.NRG (nero)
.IMG

you know

an image file

but PDI is made only by PINNACLE's INSTANT COPY
used to be freeware called VOB or sumptin like that

theyre the same 'cept for header information that tells what the file is

Thanks for the clearity, was thinking it was a proprietary form of a ISO file.

ok.... let me follow this thread correctly... your saying the PDI is a type of image file like an bin/cue and the actual videots file is in there and since its a not a region! disc i have to unlock[?] it to fix it [ps , I think its a region2 [england and Ireland are mentioned in the premovie warning and does that mean its a Pal and i have to convert it to ntsc.and if so what happens to the menues...ps Ive alrready ripped it to my harddrive so Im ready for the next step[s]

I used Decrypter to burn them...and Im a newbie so i didnt know i could extract them to a videofile that way...how do you do that , and i dont think i have daemon tools
