dvdspy help please

[s.morris]

Hi all,

I am just trying to get my head around DVDspy,

what i would like it to do is when i insert a DVD check whether the DVD is Pal or NTSC and depending on which one it find change the resolution/ refresher rate in powerstrip.

got the auto insert event sorted and got the powerstrip bit sorted its just the bit in the middle
I am using DVDspy Version 1.55

would appreciate if some one could send/post a .gml that i could look at to see how it is done or give me a step by step :lol:

sorry I no program wiz zed ( understand girder a little but not luna) so any help would be nice

i have done a search but this time did not find any thing

Some one must have some idea :(

I was hoping that someone who had the exact same setup would be able to give you their .GML file as a starting point. I do not have it myself (I just live with playing PAL discs at a 60Hz HDTV resolution), but I can walk you through the approach. I hope that this will be specific enough.

The DVDInsert.GML sample that comes with DVDSpy gives the basic outline of the event processing: on Disc Insert, check the payload and run a program.

For your test, it's pld5 that you want to check. It will be "NTSC" or "PAL". The sample checks pld3 for "4:3" or "16:9". The concept is the same.

If you have not already done so, define PowerStrip profiles for the two configurations. Then invoke it with the command line switch that selects the appropriate profile. One tricky bit: the command line arguments go into the "Step Size" box in the Execute command. (Don't ask.)
