Hi,

I disagree about the TV being able to support PAL. I believe that many new
U.S. DVD players can play a PAL DVD just fine and it will display fine on
any TV.

My DVD player is just a year or 2 old and it can't.

You also need the TV to be able to play PAL DVDs.

Be careful of "region-coded" DVDs; many players will only accept a
limited number of region changes - too many and they are designed to
lockup. That can also apply to computer players.

In case of difficulty, consider
- ripping the DVD and changing its format using something like
"ffmpeg"
- uploading it to youtube
always presuming there are no copyright issues

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.
