| | Posted: | | | | I think it's annoying that when adding a Blu-ray/DVD combo, PAL or NTSC has to be selected, since Blu-ray (the main media) isn't one ot those.
Now, I have some combos and since PAL/NTSC has to selected there is the problem of adding anamorphic widescreen. If you say, the PAL/NTSC refers to the DVD, and that one is anamorphic, you can select that. But I am not really happy with that situation.
So, I am hoping that in a future update PAL/NTSC isn't mandatory for Blu-ray/DVD combos. |

| | Posted: | | | | The problem as I see it, is that currently there's no way of telling DVDP which is the main media in a release, each is treated equally.
If the above can be added also, I could support this. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's sort of true and not. There are Blu-rays that are encoded in 1080i50 which are incompatible with TV/Blu-ray players in NTSC countries. I don't know why studios have done this, but 50Hz interlaced mode is sort of pseudo "PAL" HD. It would be useful to keep track of these NTSC incompatible formats. | | | | My Home Theater |

I don't know why studios have done this, but 50Hz interlaced mode is sort of pseudo "PAL" HD. It would be useful to keep track of these NTSC incompatible formats. And then there's also Blu-rays that have standard definition PAL bonus content on them. Usually, this is not spelled out on the package or disc. If you live in an NTSC area and have a Blu-ray player which cannot display a PAL signal...well, it won't play. I'd like the ability to track those Blu-rays which have PAL (or NTSC) standard definition bonus content on them. I understand what JeroenX is saying though, and I'm not arguing against that. | | | | Corey |
