Hi

I am using the trial version of DVR-Studio Pro.

I have written my first DVD from a recording on the Dreambox 7000S.

When I watch the DVD the left hand 2/3 (approx) of the top scan line seems to 'flash', as though there are alternate black and content lines.

Is this a known problem ?

I will check the original recording, and make some other this evening (I am at work now).

Thanks

This very likely is the WSS code (Wide Screen Signalling), which helps TV screens to switch to widescreen automatically. DVR-Studio does not change anything of the video content, so this line is already there when recorded and we cannot remove it.
Maybe the visible area of the DVD-player is a bit too large, so it gets visible.

Hello

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply. I am sure this is the cause of the problem.

Viewing the original file or the DVD made from it on a TV there is no problem.

Viewing the DVD on both a laptop and a desktop, with Windows Media Player or WinDVD 4 or WinDVD 5, I see the flickering line.

With WinDVD, if I right click in the viewing area, select setup, video, turn off hardware acceleration, the problem goes away. This is a reasonable workaround for me.

I cannot see how to do the same with WMP, or to make the WinDVD setting persist, but neither is really a problem.

Thanks

John
