Hi Swede, In case you didn't know, Region Codes are generally only applied to commercial film DVDs. They are mainly used by film studios so that they can protect the theater release of their movies in the various regions of the world at different times. That is to say, the DVD of a movie can be released in one region but it would not be playable in another region where the film has yet to be released for showing in theaters. So, unless you have some reason for not wanting your DVDs to be viewed in some regions of the world, why would you consider applying a Region Code? I have made many PAL and NTSC DVDs for play in various countries and never considered applying a restrictive thing like a Region Code. Hope I haven't misunderstood your question! Best of luck, Scotty

When you upload a video to YouTube video is recompressed to FLV and audio is reduced to mono and transcoded to a lower bit rate - probably 64 kps. This may be the cause of your problems. If you haven't, I would suggest first reading YouTube's own help info on the subject and the numerous entries on the Web on this subject. I think you really already have a good start - KISS is generally the moist likely solution to most problems! Good Luck, Scotty
