area limitations?

[GlennDanzig]

I burned a dvd that had a couple of VOB files that I burned in the same manner before and worked (I re-converted and re-burned becuase of audio sync problems) but now when I put the dvd in my sony dvd player it says "playback prohibited by area limitations" any one know why it says this? thanks in advance (sorry if this is wrong forum)

Hi
How about some info ?? any info ?
That screen you are getting sounds like when you try to play the wrong region or wrong format, ie: pal video on a dvd player that only plays ntsc ?
Did you mistakenly re-encode them in a diff. format the second time ?
Becaise i know when i try to play pal dvd's that are even region free my sony says the same thing.

Exactly what Noahtuck says, My Sonys (2) both display that message if I try to play a PAL disk, They're Only NTSC Players.

Recode back to NTSC or if NTSC check to see if you somehow set a region wrong. But I'd bet you did them as PAL. If they're PAL then either get a Player that plays PAL but outputs NTSC or re-encode to NTSC.

Good Luck

Oh ok so on WINavi on the advanced options it says PAL auto and the NTSC I had it set on auto so ill set it on NTSC now and encode my AVI to VOB thanks

You say you 're-converted' them, that would be when you changed them to PAL if that is what you have done, not when they were burned.
