Re: [Videolib] PAL question

2011-12-23 Thread Bob Norris 
Just to clarify Dennis' response a bit, there are two parts to the equation. He 
is referring to PAL. That is a television format (NTSC in USA). You need a 
mulit-system DVD player that will play PAL on US TV's. Or you can play a PAL 
DVD on most computers.

The region 0 refers to DVD region protection. 0 is open so would not stop you 
from playing it on a DVD player manufactured for the US. Feel free to contact 
me if you need more detailed info.

Happy Holidays all.

You'll be able to play this on a laptop, most likely.  Otherwise, as Dennis has 
said, you'd need a code-free (all region) player

It just depends if you have a multi-system DVD player or not. In Europe,
they almost all are. in the United States, some are, but usually you have
to specifically purchase one.

[Videolib] PAL question

2011-12-23 Thread Merle J. Slyhoff 
We had a request for a dvd from France.  The company responded that it is in 
PAL Region 0.  They seemed to indicate we would be able to use it here.  Our IT 
department isn't sure if it would work.  Does anyone have experience using 
Region 0 dvds?  Your help is appreciated.  Thanks!  And happy holidays to all
