NTSC Disc Identified at PAL

[cindyb]

Same issue as Harrigan46. Just installed AnyDVD 6.6.3.2 and any NTSC I put in is shown as PAL by AnyDVD. I've attached the log from 9.

I was able to copy the the disc fine and it plays on my NTSC only player fine.

Confirmed. Putted one of NTSC discs in and it is shown as PAL.

James, if you need another log, I'll upload it.

Add me to the list of people that has a bought DVD which is NTSC that AnyDVD reports that they are PAL DVDs.

This is a DVD from 2004 that I just recently bought that is a Region 1 DVD, and should also be revealed as a NTSC DVD.

Very odd.

I just tried several discs and your theory states all DVD's have a bad flag so I state you are wrong. Not arguing just disagreeing. Here is one of the several I tried. It read NTSC on version 6.6.3.1. 6.6.3.2 it states it is a PAL.

I was editing my post at 21:51 while you were posting this... I did a test and saw it too.
We both agree - James made a brand new bug it seems.

That first disk last week was the bad one though - I question the need to have "fixed" anything to begin with.

We get free PAL DVD's too it seems? I wonder if a PAL DVD reads as NTSC?
