It searches the disc and returns the message No Valid Source Found. Apparently I can change the region setting in iDVD a few times but from what I have seen in the HB community forum, HB will convert without my having to do so. So…where am I going wrong? (The HB community forum is alarmingly techie-oriented, so I find most of what I read there to be close to incomprehensible.) Video is not my thing at all, I just want to convert these two commercial region-2 PAL DVDs to region-1 NTSC so we can watch them on the TV rather than the computer screen. Merci!
