All:

I will investigate whether my cheapie Samsung DVD player can convert from Pal to NTSC standards. Have already ordered the VCD and if the wet scene is any good, I will look in earnest for ways to play it on DVD. Again, my sincerest thanks for your time in replying to my off-topic question.

Regards,

[Off Topic]: NTSC vs PAL TVs on DVD

Greetings:

Often, I order DVD videos (and VCDs as well) from Asia because of the possible wetlook content that they might contain. While browsing one such site in Thailand I found a DVD I wanted but noticed that while it was "region free" it would only play on a "PAL TV" which is not the standard we use in the United States. From some online research it seems that a PAL TV system cannot view the output of an NTSC DVD video and vice versa. Is this really the case regarding viewing a region free PAL DVD on my 13 year old NTSC standard television set with a current Samsung DVD player? I'm just making sure before I give up the ghost and search for the same video on VCD.
