Ntsc Dvd Wont Play

[scottnothing]

I have recently got my m35 so i have not yet had the time to get the DVD / TV Conversion done yet.

To see if the DVD player worked I converted an AVI to NTSC format using VisualHub and burnt it to a DVD.

When I put it in the DVD player in the car it just made a few clicks and grunts and didnt play.

Is there anything special that I need to do to make the DVD play? Or is it something I have done in the conversion? Or is my DVD player stuffed?

Cheers,

Cheers,

are you talking about the unit above the Glove Box next to your ECT? If so thats for your NAVI...it doesn't play DVD's.

[scottnothing]

Ha ha ha, i am a dickhead.

So do they play DVDs standard?

Where do they go?

[andy65b]

only play DVD's if you have an aftermarket player installed.

[zei20l]

nope they only play the navi disc!

they go into your pocket till you purchase an external dvd player lol

Nope.

DVD ROM only plays the navi disc.

If you want a DVD movie to show up on your screen, talk to Jetwreck. He has done a very nice conversion.... or do a search for it.

Thanks for that,

looks like i have some things to add to my list of mods.

I only just noticed the eyelids on your M35. They look awesome.

Did you make them yourself or buy them?

Also I'm sure its been discussed before, but how did you solve the DVD dilemma.

I am just about to bring some items in from Japan so I am thinking of adding a few sets of the eye lids to the shipment as their freight cost will work out well with the items I am bringing in.

Would you be interested in a pair?

[Angus Smart]

Will these tv tuners play hdtv? like one hd etc?

[Chris Rogers]

they will play one hd. all of them do.

as for the original question - I get that AT least 3 times a week.

buy an external DVD unit and away you go.

I sell the input leads for these units and if you need a DVD to suit I sell that as well.

flick a PM across with what you need and I'll help you

Andy,

Just out of interested what is the price and what colour(s) are they available in?

[andy65b]

Andy,

There are 2 different prices. One is painted and one is not painted.

I am going to get the unpainted ones that way whoever wants them can get them painted locally. I am going to paint mine myself.

The delivered price for the unpainted is about $120 and $190 respectively. The basic price is $50 and $100 respectively without freight.

When the freight is in I will know what the final cost will be.

If you want some thing different PM me and I will see if I can get the painted one.

Cheers

I just had a look at the head rests, they look pretty sweet. Did you have any issues getting them to match up with the existing holes.

most of them are adjustable.....just check in the spec's.

There is one more thing that you need sorry......only if you want to watch TV while driving......there is an additional switch or bypass that you need to purchase.....not that any of us watch TV/DVD while driving though! . PM if you need more detail.
