| 687725 | 2008-07-11 00:06:00 | i just brought (dont comment i know) WWE Wrestlemania 24, it refuses to play in my ps2 or dvd player but i can get to play in my laptop which is slightly older.....now while the DVD is playing it says at the top left WWEHD.... would this be the reason why it doesnt play in the ps2 or dvd player? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 687726 | 2008-07-11 00:47:00 | Provided it's a standard DVD, there will be no actual HD content on there so thats not likely to be the cause. It's more likely to be some kind of protection on the DVD itself. Does it work ok on a standalone DVD player? You could try something free like DVD43 (http://www.dvd43.com/) & see if that helps (or AnyDVD that costs $$). |

| 687727 | 2008-07-11 03:19:00 | the 2 standalone dvd players i tried both dont recongnise the dvd at all. after alot of load they same something the the effect of unrecogniseable media. Its odd.....does the fact its NTSC (whatever the hell that is) mean anything? its a region 4, and theres also a square box with a "0" in it. | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 687728 | 2008-07-11 03:53:00 | NTSC is a picture format / like PAL Its for different countries |

| 687729 | 2008-07-11 04:04:00 | yeah, the fact it's in NTSC is what's causing your problem. Your PS2 and normal DVD player can probably only handle PAL DVD and not NTSC. You could rip it to your PC and recode it to PAL, burn it to DVD-R and it would play but if you can watch it fine on your PC then you might not bother. |

| 687730 | 2008-07-11 04:33:00 | What make and age is your DVD player. I doubt it has anything to do with it being Pal or NTSC that is stopping it from playing. Check your DVD player manual to see what formats it can play. :) |

| 687731 | 2008-07-11 04:34:00 | its a 3 disc set. so i think i will avoid reburning, not worth it, i leave it to watching on my laptop, cheers | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 687732 | 2008-07-11 04:38:00 | first dvd player was a simple dse (hey it plays copied dvds better than anything else) the second was a black diamond DVD/VCR which has NTSC playback | aidanmaz (7180) | ||

| 687734 | 2008-07-11 05:22:00 | Maybe your discs are damaged or something then? have you checked for scratches, cd rot, etc? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
