Logix 3000

If, on the Logix 3000, the multi-region is activated and the macro de-activated is it possable to record region one discs on to a pal video, if so is the quality good ?.

RE: Scan dvd

I presume there is a multi-region & macro fix for the Logix (can u point me in the direction) and can I record NTSC region 1 discs onto video.

RE: Scan dvd

I was under the impression that most videos cant record Pal 60, (Unless it is a multi standard one) Pal 60 is a mix between converting NTSC to pal 50

RE: Scan dvd

Unfortunatly, I dont want to wait five weeks, I`ll order the Sami 709, Its readilly available and the macro/multi region can also be deactivated from the remote.

Perhaps Scan needs to rethink its stocking policy as it is loosing orders in a very competitive market place ?

RE: recording region 1 discs

Thanks for your positive imput mike it was great help unlike Kevo`s mumbles

Scan dvd

Ive decided to buy a scan dvd player because it outputs a pure pal 50 stream on region 1 discs.

Gone to buy one at the SCAN web site and thay are out of stock & wont have any in till end of september.

Does anyone know of a good retailer thay I can get one from now ?

recording region 1 discs

I want to make back up copies of my region 1 & 2 dvd`s onto vhs tape. I understand that to record region 1 dvd`s onto my video the dvd output signal (NTSC) will need to be converted to pal 50 - not sudo pal 60

Which method is the best for good low loss picture quality

1- Do I buy a dvd which converts the signal as above (I`ve read that the picture is stretched vertically due to a pal signal having more lines, does this look bad on a large telly. ? I believe scan & yelo 800 give out a pal 50 signal, does any other dvds do this, if so what ones ?
The dvd would need to be macro deactivated

2-Do I buy a Digital NTSC to Pal converter which will sit between the dvd & the video, Ive read that digital is better than analogue converters as most analogue converters dont convert to Pal 50, is there an analogue unit out there which produces great video copies ? Digital converters are very expensive. Would the macrovision be deactivated by the converter ?

3- Do I buy a ntsc video which will record a pure ntsc signal from my dvd, Ive read most modern video recorders will decode a ntsc video tape anyway.

4-Do I buy a multi standard VCR which will convert the ntsc signal to pal 50

I am after good quality picture and sound quality but have not read about anyone who has reviewed all three together, pros, cons etc

I am new to this dvd area and hope Ive stated some of the above point correctly.
