ive converted a AVI file into a dvd file burned it to disc, then when i play it in my dvd player it plays it in black and white. i've burned many of dvd's. its only started doin it since i built my new computer, but am still using the same hardware/software.
Any ideas?

Nothing to do with region.
Regions are so discs from other countries won't play.
A disc from a different region will possibly be ntsc but thats not a product of regions.

have you tried playing any other DVDs to make sure its not your player?
Im not sure about SCART leads, but on your VGA lead, each pin relates to a colour. So if you swap out any of your pics, or the lead is not inserted properly the colours are all out.
just a thought.

Can codecs not affect the disc during burning? I am a noobish lol but Im sure I have had a problem where the picture was upside on the disc. Installed a codec pack and it sorted it out.

definately down to the Video format used...
you can still have a region-0 or region-2 encoded DVD with an NTSC signal...
NTSC/PAL are completelt independant of regional codings on the DVD system...
PAL operates at 25fps, 625Lines and 50Hz... All UK TV's can display this frequency
NTSC operates at 30fps, 525Lines and 60Hz... Not all UK TV's can display this...
Therfor, if your TV can't operate an NTSC Signal... you will just get a black&white image...
You would need to re-encode the AVI in a PAL format from your PC before you burn it to DVD

Scart box isn't fully wired then.
They normally don't do well with rgb for some reason.
