Region Hacks
Hack Help Forum - Can`t record US vids to DVD. Any hacks? - Page 1
Harmless
Hi there,
I live in Berlin Germany and just bought a Philips DVDR3380. I want to record a bunch of my US videos taped (non-commercial and otherwise) to DVD but everytime I try, the pic is really fuzzy or black and white. I thought it was copy protection, but then when I tried it with videos form here, it worked fine. So it's obviously a region issue.
I've already hacked my DVD player to play all regions. What can I do to get it to record right? Do I have to change something with my VCR?
Any hacker help? Thanks!

United States Videos ( And DVD's) are in NTSC Format and European Videos & DVD's are in PAL Format
If you Play an NTSC Video on a PAL only TV the Pictures will be in Black & White ( and Fuzzy) you need to set the VCR Players Output to PAL or Change the TV to accept NTSC ...if possible.
It is not a Region Problem as Videos have No region Protection on them is is to do with Colour System Compatibility .... NTSC on PAL only TV's will be seen in Black & White and visa Versa
