Going back to the point, just use ‘DVD Shrink 3.2’ to rip the DVDs remove any macrovision and make it region free. All DVD authoring software will allow you to convert to whatever you desire at the end. And new TV’s are DIGITAL so they will take NTSC or PAL, Secam is the same as PAL, the French just HAVE to be different. The difference between PAL and NTSC is the amount of lines scanned across the screen, frames per second and PAL is 50hz NTSC is 100hz. All of which is pretty redundant now screens are mainly 1080 Progressive scan. Most UK DVD players can handle NTSC they are just locked into region 2 via the firmware, which is only hackable if it has been designed to be so. The codes are not by accident. The only reason we have this region code problem is because of Hollywood. I have no idea on US dvd players, so use your computer. If someone posts an address i will send what i have on DVR’s.

Oh... and Adam is obviously correct with respect to NTSC and PAL being different _television_systems entirely - not related to regions on dvd-players.

PAL and NTSC are totally separate from the region coding of DVDs.
PAL and NTSC are separate broadcast encoding formats for television sets. PAL is the standard used throughout the UK and most of Europe (France uses their own, SECAM). NTSC is primarily used in the USA and North America, as well as much of Asia (Japan, South Korea, etc..).
Unless you have a multi-format television set, you cannot play back PAL DVDs on a NTSC set.
However, on computers and digital monitors, you can play back the DVDs in any format, since they can play back any encoded DVD
In regards to the region encoding, if a DVD is set to Region 2, and you have a Region 1 DVD player, then you cannot play back that DVD. There are multi-region DVD players out there on places like EBay for sale. Also, ripping software can usually delete the region encoding, allowing you to reburn the material to a region free disc, which can then be played on any DVD player.
Hope this helps.

Your PC will play any region, DVD drives can be switched up to 4 times or just download any ‘region free dvd’ software.

I'm new to this mailing list lark. Hope I get it right...
Andy Lee was kind enough to send me a copy of The Work on DVD recently, and jolly good it is too. However, I reckon it can be better. Much of the video's fine, but things like This Is Not..., Waiting and WTIL MTV could be re-encoded, The Rites of Mu and Stadium House could be cropped for widescreen, Madrugaga Eterna could be edited from The White Room, and so on. The real bug-bear for me is the audio hiss, most of which could be replaced with CD-quality audio very easily, and that which can't, I can record in real-time from VHS, minus hiss. Things like the "cornfield" version of WTIL, the TOTP appearances, the Brit Awards or even the Omnibus doc could be added too (or, in other words, a load of this stuff: http://www.youtube.com/user/klfcommunicationsnet).
Trouble is, while I have the means to record all this stuff, I lack most of the video. I have Waiting, Stadium House and the Indie video with Kylie Said To Jason, but that's it. I might, and this is a big "might", be able to re-source the music videos at broadcast quality too. But if any of the rare stuff can be included, I'll need your help getting some of it. If you reckon you can help, give me a shout at this email address, listing what you have and what condition it's in, and let's see if we can't create... I dunno, The Work 2011 on DVD? Got a nice ring to it I suppose. Might even use it as the title of this message... Thanks.
