Trouble copying DVD from another region

I bought a DVD in Europe that said it was "Worldwide Playable" on the box. It isn't. It will play on computers, but not in my DVD players, citing a region code error. I have CloneDVD2 and AnyDVD, so I have been attempting to copy it so I can play it in my set-top DVD player. Everything seems to work fine in the process, but the resulting disc won't play in the set-top unit, though it will in a computer. I read the thread about the Scarface issue and I'm all set on my hardware region code. I cannot figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help? Anyone run into this before?

Most likely your problem could be a NTSC – PAL Video Format problem and noting to do with Region Coding ->

Thanks. I have been continuing to try to figure this out and I have been exploring this likely issue. I got InfoEdit and tried the "dirty" patch. It didn't work. Do you know how I can convert this and get a playable DVD?

Thanks. Looks complicated, but I'll give it a shot.

a lot of the dvd players in the UK play PAL & NTSC (one thing the UK has got right), but in the US it's a bit different, most just play NTSC format, which i think what the problem is here, i don't think shrink will cure this
