RE: Chinese DVD`s :-(
Stoney,
I`m no dvd expert but I know a dvd from a vcd. The actual cost of the dvd`s from China at present is around 75-80pence. Yes pence. I should know I bought them myself and have had some more sent over recently with a work mate. Swordfish, Mummy Returns, Pearl Harbour.etc.

RE: Chinese DVD`s :-(
Hi,
I was in China in feb and bought the very same type of dvd`s and have had no problems playing them on my Tosh 2109. Some tend to break up slightly but thats all. I also bought an aiwa XD DV170 while in Hong Kong and it plays everything perfectly. The guy in the shop said that it plays copied discs whereas some will play them but the quality isn`t as good. So it could just be coincidence. Hope this helps.

Looking for best DVD player that can output PAL 50 signal to allow back ups!!!!!!!!!!
All,
I am looking for a player that will output pal 50 so as to enable me to back up dvd`s. I`ve tried the Wharfey M5 it does the job but I was disappointed in the picture quality. I know of the Alba 103 but again quality issue.So if anyone knows of a player that can output pal50 or pseudo pal (Samsung`s) and the quality is good please let me know. Multi-region is not essential but a macro disable would be good. Thanks in advance.

RE: Guys need help with Macrovision...Sonel MacMaster!!!!!!!!
Rob,
Not tried a region 2 but went out and bought a Wharfey M5 yesterday from Tesco and right enough the set up menu has an option to convert NTSC to Pal50/60. When I converted it to pal 50 the colour was flashing but that`s where the Sonel MacMaster comes in and bob`s your uncle I managed to "back up" and a pretty good back up at that. So it cost a bit more than had planned but I can now do the back ups. Will test region 1 soon but if it works for r2 then I doubt there will be any probs for r1. Thanks to all the guys for the info Navs etc.
Cheers,
Nas.
RE: Guys need help with Macrovision...Sonel MacMaster!!!!!!!!
Rob,
Hi, I finally got round to testing my MacMaster cable....and I have to say I got my region 1 Bone Collecter to play through my vcr no probs. No flickering or waiting 5 minutes for it to heat up....straight off worked fine. The reason I can`t "back up" is because my dvd does not trasmit in Pal 50 so the vcr doesn`t quite recognise the signal but macmaster is fine!!!

RE: Guys need help with Macrovision...Sonel MacMaster!!!!!!!!
Navs,
My aiwa XD170 does but I think it is already set to PAL ..will check but I`m pretty sure the Toshiba sd2109 doesn`t have a switch like this ..will check when I get home tonight. Navs what about the cyberhome or Alba dvd103 as cheaper dvd`s to allow backups ....heard anything about these machines.
Cheers,

RE: Letropacks macrovision remover
lost rock,
What sort of DVD player have you got and does it allow you to convert the NTSC signal from region 1 to true Pal 50 thus allowing a normal vcr to back up. Also what model from Letropacks did you buy £60 or £90?
Cheers,
Nasir.
RE: Guys need help with Macrovision...Sonel MacMaster!!!!!!!!
Rob,
Hi. It took around 3-4 days for delivery.I haven`t testred region 2 yet as I am more interested in region 1 but I am hoping to hire a region 2 disc and will test it probably today or tomorrow. Will post the results when tested. Oh if you send a cheque it will take longer for delivery as they wait till it has cleared ....I sent a postal order..quicker.
Cheers,
Nasir.
RE: Navs or anyone need help with Sonel Macmaster and Macrovision!!!!!
Navs,
Yes I did get the power supply. Someone else has told me it could be to do with the NTSC signal and my VCR. I know you also mentioned this , what sort of VCR is yours....is it one of these Multi-system one`s. If that is the case then I`m not sure what needs to be done .. maybe an NTSC to PAL converter.

Navs or anyone need help with Sonel Macmaster and Macrovision!!!!!
Navs,
I finally got my MacMaster from Sonel but when I tried it with my Toshiba SD2109 DVD and Panasonic NV-HD625 the recording was Black and White and sort of flashing. The VCR has NTSC P.B. on PAL TV written on it but still no joy. The dvd`s I tried are from the states some indian films and also The Bone Collecter but same result with both. The Bone Collecter is region 1 but the indian dvd`s are region free. I don`t know what to do now would appreciate some help.
Cheers,
Nas.
Guys need help with Macrovision...Sonel MacMaster!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I recently bought the MacMaster from Sonel which is supposed to allow you to copy DVD`s onto video. But I tested it with a region 1 film The Bone Collecter and it was black & white and sort of flashing back and forward. My vcr is a panasonic NV-HD625 which has written on it NTSC P.B. on PAL TV, but still no luck. Could someone help as I really want to be able to tape my DVD`s.
Cheers,

Message for Navs re: Sonel Macro Disabler!!!!!!!!
Navs,
Does this macrovision disabler work with dvd`s from all regions or just from region 2? Reason for asking I see lektropacks.co.uk have something similar but only for region 2 dvd`s. Cheers.

Navs,
Cheers mate. I have taken your advice and ordered one. Hopefully get it by the weekend and then I`ll test it. I see some people say the recordings are a bit darker. Have you encountered this problem?
