NTCSS discs?

atomicwitch · 12-04-2009, 22:10

Will an NTCSS (USA?) disc work on a PAL system?

Hope this is in the right forum.

NTSC discs will play on all UK dvd players.( region coding aside)

What the quality is like and whether you get perfect results depends on your tv and player.

If you are referring to commercially released US dvd's then remember they are likely to be region 1 and will not play on your dvd player unless its multiregion.

Whats the disc?

Whats your equipment?

If its home recorded dvd's they will play on your dvd player and any playback problems would be removed by playing them on your pc

I'm asking on behalf of someone else and I don't know what they're equipment is, sorry.
Those are the DISCS.

Yeah, they'll work as long as the DVD player is multi-regioned and the TV can cope with an NTSC signal. And to answer your next question...most TVs from the mid 90's on have been able to handle NTSC.

I was going to post a thread on this.

I am thinking of buying a DVD which is region 1 and NTSC.... how do I know if my TV is able to display this efficiently... my TV is only a few months old!

Don't worry about region coding.
These types of specialist discs are never region coded (it even says "all regions" in the listing.)

They will play on your uk player regardless of whether its multiregion or not.

Unless the tv is old there should be no problems.

If its a Toshiba player check the VIDEO settings are on AUTO and not PAL which is what they often are when new.
Tosh players set to PAL will reject an NTSC disc completely.

If the playback is Black and White or juddery then pop back to this forum for a solution

First thing you should worry about is whether your player will play R1 discs.

Problems on the tv display are unlikely unless the set is old

Whats the disc?

Whats the tv?

If its a documentary dvd (do you have a link?) chances are it will not be region coded even though most retailers will list it as R1 just to be on the safe side.

Is your player multiregion?

You should not have any display problems.

I doubt that title will be region coded but as your players are MR you should have no problem.
