[vdr] DVD patch: NTSC and PAL60

[Lauri Pesonen <lauri.pesonen@firsthop.com>]

Hi list,

related to the DVD patch for VDR:

I think I read a posting on the list about a new release of the DVD patch 
and someone commented that the patch could only replay PAL-DVDs (I 
couldn't find the article with the sites search function)

I also read through the DVB API document a while back, and today I 
connected the two and remembered that the API doc mentioned an enum called 
videoSystem_t, which defined the output format for the video device. 

I searched the list archive and found an article about VDR0.84 where
someone was wondering whether the DVD support for vdr0.84 could be set up
to provide output as PAL60 rather than NTSC. Ralph Metzler answered that
it was not possible since "it" (the card, the driver, ...?) had no PAL60
mode.

Have things changed between July and December? Is there now a PAL60 mode?

I bought my DVD player in the spring of 1999 and bought all of my discs
from tha states in the beginning since they where so much cheaper and the
extras were better. Because of that I have some 30 R1 discs. I'd be happy
to sell my DVD player once I get my DVB card and if VDR/the DVB card is
able to provide the same image quality. But R1 disc support is a must
since otherwise I can't watch half of my films :(

Thanks for all your help. I'm really excited about VDR and I'm really 
eager to get my DVB card so I can start setting things up.

BR, Lauri
