I've been compiling a DVD showreel which plays fine in my home DVD machine, but Black & White in my mate's (both domestic all-region players). Here's what I've been doing...

The source files are MUSIC VIDEOS of 3 types:
(1) Chapters extracted from Promo Only compilations (ie originally .VOB)
(2) .MOV FILE (off an enhanced CD Single)
(3) .MPG FILE (off an enhanced CD Single)

The Promo Only videos I extracted using DVDExtractor in OS9. The PCM audio files I put through Soundhack, hacked the headers and resaved as .aif files. The M2V files I tried as they were, then through MPEG Append.

Both the .mov & .mpg files I used QuickTime to save the video to DV(PAL). I didn't want the music as I substituted my own. I then used Final Cut Pro 1.2 (OS9) to modify the speed of the videos, marry them with my new music, then saved them down using the QT MPEG2 component to m2v & aif files.

All the resulting m2v & aif files I then imported into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, made up a menu and built & burned the disk.

The video that was originally an MPG file plays in colour fine, all the others play fine in my domestic DVD player, but play in B&W in my friend's. He says he's never had any problems before with his machine.

Anyone had similar problems?... What other software could I use to extract a video file editable in Final Cut Pro? I?ve tried OSEx but ended up with corrupted audio PCM files - apparently a bug) Can ffmpegX do the job (I've never used it)? What could I use instead of QuickTime to extract the video file from the .mov file?

Apologies for the barrage of questions, but I?m T-H-I-S close to finishing the DVD showreel! (I can use either OS9.2 or OS10.2)
