| Re: Will European Format DVD's play in the USA Thanks for your response, but you may have misunderstood. I was asking whether a UK PAL DVD will play and be viewable on a US TV and DVD player without a format conversion. As you say most European DVD players can convert NTSC format to PAL-60 so that it will dipslay on a European TV, but I don't know whether the opposite is true in the US. |
