Will AVIA help me?
Will AVIA help me?

I've been all day reading all the treads on the AVIA disk and I think I've overloaded on info. Now, will this disk (NTSC) be able to help sort out my geometry problems on a PAL TV or should I wait until a PAL version of a calibration disk is available. I have read that there are several going to be available, but I haven't read that they are out yet. Does anybody know is there is a PAL version around?

As far as I know Geometry is Geometry, wether Pal or NTSC.

As for a PAL version of AViA, first I have heard of it.

They ought to be set up separately... the TV uses different refresh rates for each and will store geometry settings for each screen mode in a similar way to monitors.

Yeah, my TV has seperate geometry & convergence settings for PAL & NTSC, plus for each aspect mode (so a total of 12 settings)

Are there any PAL video test disc's around?- I guess you could a laptop and change from PAL & NTSC, and use grids & test patterns. Probably cheapest way of doing it.

rct M8,

Is this the one you mention?

http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/222730/id=yDn71:GlcMD

There is a statement on the site, and I quote "Only TV monitors equipped with NTSC playback facility can replay this DVD in full colour".

Am I missing something? Any advice please

Funny, because that's where I ordered mine from and I don't remember that message... the disc runs in true PAL though (not PAL 60).
