VLC Media Player is an open source application you can load on your
computer that permits playing PAL discs.

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


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.

hey Deg. Yeah that's a great choice VLC I use it all the time thanks for 
mentioning the PAL aspect of the codec. I had not paid attention to that, but 
I've had VLC save me in many instances. I think they really work that codec, 
correction codecs, into a nice package, collectively created.
