Page 1 of DVD Recording

Hi,

I have successfully recorded dvd on to video but when I play it back through the video in my bedroom the picture is awful. The TV in my bedroom is somewhat of an antique so doesn`t have scart connection is this why the picture is so bad as when played through the video in the front room which is scart connected it is fine.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I would presume that you have copied an R1 DVD as when copying a DVD the video recording will transmit in the DVD`s original form. This basically means that if you have copied an R1 disc, the video signal would be NTSC so your TV/VIDEO down stairs probably accepts an NTSC signal but your bedroom kit wont. Hope this helps, if im right & you have copied an R1 disc, then try again using an R2 disc or just buy an NTSC compatible video, normally anything Philips works fine.

just out of interest why are you recording from DVD to video ?
Doecn`t that defeat the object of having a DVD player ?

Also have you heard of Macrovsion !!. If your dvd player is not macrovision disenabled then when your record the picture will be awful, may also have the colour flickering etc.. Do you know if your are recording with this feature set to off or not.
