Default PAL vs. NTSC

Hi,

Maybe. Some of the latest DVD players sold in the USA can play PAL DVDs.
My DVD player is just a year or 2 old and it can't. Likewise, many new
computers sold in the USA can play both NTSC and PAL DVDs. My computer is
about 2 to 3 years old and it plays PAL DVDs just fine.

The same is true of DVD players outside the USA. Many new ones can play
NTSC DVDs. I sell NTSC DVDs to customers outside the USA often - clearly
stating on my web site that they may or may not work outside the USA. I
can't recall having any come back to me.

Best Regards,

This quote comes from someone who is offering me a soaring video. Can I
use a PAL recording in the USA or find a way to make it playable?
