Are these dvd movie files possibly in PAL format and you are playing them on NTSC video format equipment?? That is usually what causes the Black & White type problem you are having. If they were possibly AVI files converted to dvd format, then the processing went wrong.

James,

USA is NTSC

UK is mostly PAL but can be NTSC too, Europe is PAL

20 hours is about right for PAL to NTSC -


Get the DVD's in the country you live in - then you won't worry -

Cheers,
