Since most DVD's will play on your computer (which most don't have
a video tuner) it should be obvious that this signal is produced in
the consumer DVD player so that it can be feed into the RF Tuner.
As I recall NTSC is a form of Single-Sideband with a suppressed
carrier. It's been a very long time since I repaired TV's back in
the days of electron tubes.
So to get back to the original poster, it could mostly likely be:
- even though it's a homemade video, the region encoding is set to
Europe, and the settop player in the US needs it set to the US
Or to no region.
- it's a compatibility issue between the media type it's burnt on,
and the standalone player they are using.
-other? that I'm overlooking?
It's possible the player can't handle the encoding. I've got a
player that chokes on some disks. But this happens with portions of
the disk, not trying to play it from the start. BTW, it's not a
cleaning issue, it's happened with new disks and after cleaning the
disks. In one case it happened in the same spot on a different copy
of the same disk.
Best to try and play it on a computer, and see what happens. Mac
the Ripper may help them convert it to region 0 (no region) if it's
set to region 2 (Europe). You can also try copying it to different
media type (DVD+ R or DVD- R blanks) than whast is it currently
stored upon.
