DVD WS2 Strange info

[editpo]

Whilst trying to find out why a DVD wouldnt play I found, using IfoEdit the following information on the IFO files:

VTS_01_0_IFO:
VTS overview:
Menu attributes:
Video: MPEG-1 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (pan-scan & letterboxed)

Title Set (Movie) attributes:
Video: MPEG-2 720x576 (PAL) (PAL 625/50) (4:3) (not specified perm.display)
Audio 1: English (Mpeg-1 ) 2ch 48Kbps 20bps (ID: 0xc0)

VIDEO_TS.IFO:
VMG Overview:
Video Manager Menu attributes:
Video: MPEG-2 720x576 (PAL) (PAL 625/50) (4:3) (not specified perm.display)

Number of Title Play Maps: 1 (VMG_PTT_SRPT)
Title 1: VTS_01_*, TTN_1 (Angles: 1) (Chapters: 1) (Start Sector 35)

Now this shouild be a PAL DVD yet the VIDEO_01_0.ifo file says NTSC MPEG1!

Anyone know what this means? Is it a bug in DVDWS? I tried the same project in a Sonic product and both IFOs show PAL.

Thanks

Are the project settings set-up to make a PAL DVD? Did you check the boxes that say Convert to disc template? I think there is one box for the menu, and separate audio & video boxes for each title.

What can you tell us about your source files? Are they MPEG-1 or MEPG-2? Are they PAL?

A DVD can have MPEG-1 video.... But only at half-resolution, not at 720 x 480. And, I didn't even know Workshop could make an MPEG-1 DVD...

Hi
Yes the settings are correct to make a PAL DVD. I am an experienced user.

Source files were created in Procoder 2 as MPEG2 PAL. A friend with the same setup gets the same result.

If you could have a go and look on your system it would be appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback.

I have just found your post after discovering the same problem - have you found reason for this?

No havent found out why yet. Searched every nook and cranny of internet.

Have tried same project on trial versions of Encore and DVDit Pro and there the info is correct!
