Toshiba DVD Player vs. VLC
John Sisker
I did download http://www.videolan.org/vlc in order to play PAL formats,
which works fine - well almost. It does play the Regional Codes that my
Toshiba DVD Player will not. Likewise, I am indeed limited to only 5
Regional changes with my Toshiba Player.
Now I can play the PAL format, at least on my PC - with one exception.
And that exception is, I think is really the fault of two bad discs. I think
I might have mentioned that the PAL format in question is really a 3-set DVD
of John Silver's Return to Treasure Island. Through the VLC Player, disc one
works fine. However, discs two and three not so. It tries to play the
picture, but I get garbled sound and a picture seemingly trying to build
itself as a mixture of regular video and large squares of unrelated computer
blocks moving all around the screen. I figured this is caused by faulty
discs, for disc one (and others) work just fine.
Needless to say, I don't want to try to adjust anything, for fear of messing
up ever disc one. Based on this information, do you also think the problem
is with the discs themselves?

maybe you should install DVD43 is a free DVD decrypter that runs in the
background and decrypts DVDs on the fly. This website gives you some
basic information, like what it does, how to use it, and where to
download it. If your copy program needs a decrypter, you can use DVD43.
It's free, so you won't need to waste money on a decrypter. This
website does not host the DVD43 setup file and is not affiliated with
the authors of DVD43, but it does provide safe links to the program.
