This is probably something that has been covered in the past, so please forgive me. Am I correct in assuming that a DVD recorded in the UK (PAL) will play on a US TV with no problems. The DVD would be from a Panasonic EM20. Thanx_X_X_X_X_X_[small]http://www.legendtv.co.uk[/small]
Some DVD players (in particular the units which ship as multi-region) have a PAL<->NTSC converter built-in, but many don't. So it would be safer to assume that it won't play in the US.
they don't really call it "pal" or "ntsc" with DVDs; they're regions. North America uses Region 1 and Europe uses Region 2. i think there's a total of 7 regions. you have to have a DVD that is specifically "multi-region", and even most DVD-ROMs are not multi-region. however, for DVD-ROMs there is sometimes a firmware update, or software that can get around this, but use at your own discretion.
What do you mean? Yes, region coding and the video encoding (ntsc/pal) are separate things but both affect the playback of DVDs depending on your player capability. Rgds, jnihil.
