  1. For 2004 I was living abroad, and in doing so I built up quite a collection of region 2 and other region dvds......I dont want to get an all region player, so I am trying to transfer them to dvdr's that will play in my home Pioneer dvd player.
    I used DVD decrypter to rip the files. A couple times during the process it said it needed to use a "brute force cracking method" or something to that extent.....I clicked okay, and in the end it said all files were sucessfully decrypted. I then proceeded to use DVD Shrink to compile and burn the dvd. I can scan through the whole movie inside DVD Shrink, and it encodes and burns to DVD-R with no problem. When I play the burned disc on my computer it works flawlessly. However when I try to play the disc in my standalone Pioneer player, all the audio works, but the picture constantly rolls. Im guessing this is the macrovision. Am I correct? Why would this work on my PC but not on the standalone player? What could I do to make a disc that would be playable in my standalone player?

    Thanks for any and all info!

  2. You probably have a PAL-NTSC issue.

    I agree with above.

    DVD Shrink removes macrovision and region coding so that can't be it.
    No DVD can withstand the power of DVDShrink along with AnyDVD!

  4. Would the PAL-NTSC conversion cause the constant rolling of the picture? I thought the two were only different becuase NTSC is 720x480 and PAL is something like 760x520........I would think that would just stretch/distort the image, not make it roll constantly. Anymore insight? Im just puzzled as to why it will play on my computer perfectly, but it does not play correctly in my standalone player.....

    Format problem. Buy a cheap multi-format DVD player capable of output NTSC from a PAL disk, or move to a less format restrive country (I can play anything I want )

    Definately a PAL/NTSC issue. Besides different resolutions, framerate differs too. There's been quite some written on the subject of NTSC->PAL/PAL->NTSC DVD conversions here at videohelp - make a forum and guide search.
