Questions
1. Is your model a 'region-free' player or a standard domestic model
that normally doesn't play UK PAL dvd's or Region B Blu-Rays.
2. Will your player play UK standard 25fps media files sourced from UK
disks correctly? Most media files from US dvd's are coded at 29.9 (ie
30) fps. (if you're not sure about the specs of your media files,
there's a small (free) utility called "Media Info", which will give
you all the specs of your files.)
I have a region-free LG 620, which plays near everything (except DIVX
video, and FLAC or Ogg audio), but I'm wondering whether standard
domestic Blu-Rays will properly play files coded from 25fps PAL
sources. Trying to play a PAL disk on a domestic DVD player (the few
that will even accept the disk), displays a jerky, stuttering image on
an NTSC television; basically feeding a 30fps television a 25fps
source: the image 'sticks' for 1/6 of a second, every second. Just
wondering whether those UK-sourced media files play smoothly and
correctly on a standard US television.
Thanks!
