It has already been reported that the PAL version plays fine on a PAL Toshiba DVD player But not the original NTSC DVD which completely rules out any problem with the authoring as both use the same program and template. The "Repack" NTSC used the PAL template modified for NTSC which now rules out the Encoding. It will be interesting to find out if the new NTSC plays in PAL HD-DVD players. I do have one last idea though. Use DVDSHRINK and strip just the main movie and burn to disc and see if that plays. If that fails then i'm afraid you're out of luck.

Ady, I think you've done more than enough to try to get this to work. As much as I'd love to watch it with my Toshiba, it just doesn't seem to be the case and I've figured out a workaround.
No worries for us few Toshiba HD-DVD folks!
