Burning an ISO Question

[The_Master]

I have an ISO of a home movie that a old friend sent to me. When I burn the image to dvd, I get the followng error when trying to play the dvd on my standalone:

"Cannot playback due to area restrictions"

I get that error when I use Nero, and dvd decrypter.
When I play the dvd on my pc, it works fine.
I am using dvd+r disks, and this is the first time I've ever seen this message on my standalone dvd player. It is a panasonic that has played everything I've throw at it for about 2 years now.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

It sounds like it may be a PAL DVD/Image file.

Or NTSC.

Are you NTSC land? wheres your friend from Pal land?

[The_Master]

I am in the US. I think he is stationed somewhere in Europe right now.

Now I'm 99.999% sure it is a Pal DVD, The best way to Play it would be to buy a Player that Plays Pal,you can get them from 30$ and Up here in canada.....OR convert it to NTSC..do a Forum search for "PAL TO NTSC"..

Cool!
Thanks for the info!

BTW, what application can identify if an image is pal, or ntsc?

Try Gspot,Not sure if it will open and "Image" file.you may have extract the files.
