Hi Becky,
It is fairly common for South American DVDs to be enabled to work on both
region 1 and 4 players. Patrons will be able to use these DVDs on standard
North American players and will not require any special equipment.
All best,

Hi, all,
Perhaps it's just me being paranoid about this, but on Amazon, some of the
Spanish language DVD titles indicate that they are for NTSC/region 1 4 DVD
import - Latin America. Are these ok to order for us? When I scroll down
the pages to the Product Details, the information always says Region 1.
However, I haven't really encountered this before, and just want to make sure
that if I'm buying something, my patrons will be able to use it. Thanks.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
