no as its not so much the dvd-player itself bu the drive.

usually the only unlocking codes you can get are just to allow multi-region dvd's to be played, but support for DVD-R's & CD-R/W's is a firmware thing, something which you can't really change

ttt

it doesnt no but im getting a new one that does, but b4 i do can a dvd player be unlocked so it can read dvd-rs?

cheers

will your player read DVD-R's?

it might be locked so it won't read recordable media

because my player wont read them plus most of them are on 3 disks!!

re-encoding them will reduce the quality of the films

why not just watch the SVCD's straight on the dvd player?

Hi, ive downloaded several movies in svcd format. ive extracted the mpegs and am now trying to convert them into dvd format so can record onto a dvd. ive downloaded mpeg 2 codecs etc. The problem is that i get error messages saying that the video resolution 480x480 is not compliant. altho when i watch them on my pc they are 505x379 with an aspect ratio of 4:3. this is the correct ratio as the picture is spot on. altho if i use windows media player it plays @ 480x480.

so basically after all this waffleing on, is it possible to change the video resolution so that i can convert into dvd format and whack on dvd..

greatful for any ideas coz this is doin me head in, cheers :thumbs:
