Hi all
Bit new to all this VCD stuff, and just kind of getting my feet wet now.
I have just burned a VCD by using Toast Titanium and a .bin file from a PC. All works fine when played back on a PC or Mac using players, but when I try it on my Philips 612 DVD Player at home, it comes out Black and White.
Is there something I have done wrong in the actual burning of the .bin file, or is it a problem with my DVD player perhaps? Would the movie format be wrong for my DVD player (eg PAL / NTSC problems etc)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Crags

It is almost certainly a PAL/NTSC problem. My guess would be the VCD is in Pal format so your DVD player outputs a PAL signal which your TV cannot handle. Try it on a friends system if you can find one who has a multi standard TV.

Hmmm, forgot to mention I'm in the UK - sorry.
In that case my guess would be that the VCD may be in NTSC format? My DVD and alas, my TV are both PAL - so would that be the problem?
Does anyone know a SAF(ish) way to get the Philips DVD612 to play VCD's in the NTSC format? I couldn't find a way of doing via any options within the DVD player.
Thanks again all -
Your DVD player may have three settings: NTSC, PAL, and Auto. I keep all three of my DVD players set to AUTO, and I no longer have to remember which discs (or clips on a disc) are in PAL or NTSC ... Everything plays correctly and in color.

Ok, if you are in the UK (like me) then many if not most DVD players can output a PAL signal from NTSC disks, have a look at your DVD players menu
