IanS16 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hey guys, My idea is to use a PC to copy my DVDs to region free or jap region DVDs using NTSC coding. Obviously not that technical a question but wanted to know if anyone had tried it? Hope someone can answer this?! Get my Z at the end of next week so i hope the anser is yes!

martinmac Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi bud and welcome to the forum. Only days to wait Cant help you with the DVD question but one of the clever ones will be along soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 to the forum. DVD Shrink is the sort of thing I think you are looking for. Take a DVD, DVD shrink will read it and dump it out region free to your hard disk ready for burning with something like Nero. You can even shrink a normal retail 9GB DVD down to 4GB with virtually no loss of quality (certainly true on a small car screen) so save burning to expensive dual layer DVDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for your responses guys, but what i need to know is if the Z's DVD player will read DVDs burned in this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Why not? Every other DVD reader will DVD Shrink is great and free and it will only cost you one DVD to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for your responses guys, but what i need to know is if the Z's DVD player will read DVDs burned in this way? Give it a go and see. All DVDs are the same format, theres no such thing as a NTSC or PAL DVD, all it means is the DVD player can playback in that format for the TV. If you make it region free with DVD Shrink it should work, I see no reason for it not to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dunk Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Japan is region 2, the same as us Edit: Don't want to state the obvious but, the Jap Navigation system doesn't play DVD's, its a DVD ROM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
