Well... if you have broadband I could send you a few episodes, I have
season 1 up to episode seven and I'm in the waiting list for 8 and 9.
email me and I'll show you how that works.
Also, with two episodes of Stargate SG1, Heroes part 1 and 2. Part 1
was in PAL but labeled in the filename as HDTV. The sedond was not
NTSC and labeled with HDTV Nero barked at me saying the first episode
was in PAL and the second was in NTSC. I burned it in NTSC. Both
episodes were suberb in quality, but the first one (PAL) has a green
line at the bottom that flashed rapidly. This did not appear when I
played the file on the PC. I'm guessing Nero isn't perfect when it
converts/burns.
