PAL in the USA
Not sure if this is quite the right place to ask this, but I can't think where else to put it!
I have been asked to send a DVD to USA. Normally I would produce a PAL, Region 0 disc but I could burn a NTSC version instead (I have it already converted on the PC). Now, as I understand it, a PAL one would play on his PC but not on his DVD player & TV. Is this correct? In which case I should send him a NTSC copy so he has the option. |

I agree, do him an NTSC version then he can play it on anything.
You can thank our French friends for the SCART (Peritel) connector - a real "jack of all trades"!. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scart LCDMAN...............Can't think of anything to go here! |

You've missed a big point there Broadz. The World Series is called The World Series as it was sponsored by The World newspaper.

Ahh...I see. Still a bit big-headed of them though.

Yes, I didn't realise that either - but why is it 'The World' newspaper?
![]() Thanks, that's as I suspected. I'll knuckle down & burn an NTSC one instead of sending a PAL one off the shelf then. |

Many cheap DVD players ($20) can convert PAL DVD's to NTSC on the fly. When I lived in the States I had a Cyberhome one that did just that.
But it's safer to burn an NTSC disc as this will guarantee compatibility anywhere. NTSC = Never Twice Same Colour ![]() PAL = Picture Always Lovely
