Re: Calendar - who's getting it?

and why are they still making new Lazytown stuff in Europe but not in the U.S. :(

Doesn't look like much of anything lazytown related will be happening in the us in the near future. It sucks.

Re: Calendar - who's getting it?

Speaking of which, since Lazytown DVDs are still available (and still being created it appears) in the U.K. does anyone know how to get a PAL DVD from Region 2 to play on a U.S. computer DVD drive? I just read this:

"As a further aside, if you have a Region 1 DVD player you in all likelihood cannot play PAL DVDs both for reasons of Region locking and because the great majority of Region 1 DVD players have had their PAL playback ability disabled, not to mention the fact that most NTSC display devices cannot display PAL images. "

If you have a ps2 with Action Replay Max, you can turn your ps2 into the ultimate DVD player (it can read any disk)!

Very interesting!

So I would assume PAL format on the DVD is not a problem with this software?

I wonder how it works.

Might have to get that LazyTown Karaoke DVD....

It should detect whether or not the dvd is a PAL or NTSC, if it is the a PAL DVD, It "overclocks" your dvd drive to increase the spindle angle coefficient to PAL standards. It also decreases the laser apeture size to ~15nm (± .08nm) so that it may more accurately read the data tracks on the DVD. Of course you don't really need to know all of that, but you did wonder :)

Re: Calendar - who's getting it?

What I am really wondering about is PAL's aspect ratio. I know it has a higher vertical resolution than NTSC - is the resulting picture still 4:3 in aspect ratio somehow?

Or in short terms we want lazytown in high def

Re: Calendar - who's getting it?

By the way I have seen widescreen LazyTown videos on YouTube. Where do these come from? Is it broadcast in widescreen somewhere? Or are the European DVDs widescreen?
