[vdr] AW: vdr DVD playback, DVD-R Problem, 2 Questions ...

["Nils Heidorn" <nils@nils-heidorn.com>]

Hi again,

now i know that i have to post this to the vdr mailing list instead to the
linux-dvd list( Thanks for Szymon Polom for pointing this out ), here we go
:-)

>From Marcus Metzler i already got the answer to my PAL60 Question, it seems
not to be possible to talk the DVB-S into converting from NTSC to PAL60.

I also got the hint to ask here about the "not-playing-back" of my homebrew
DVD-R Discs.

So far i got two hints:

-1- DVD-R may use a slightly different file System then regular DVD's.
--> could that be the problems source ?? I can only say that i am able to
mount DVD-R's with UDF Filesystem and can access all files from linux.

-2- vdr maybe implemented DVD Playback in a way that uppercase / lowercase
naming of the DVD Files can make a difference while the original libdvdread
should ignore upper/lowercase letters, Klaus, any opinion on this ??


The other question also got solved, i found a vcd/svcd patch HERE:

Thanks for your help,

Nils
