That explains it. You need to have a DVD player, which is capable of reading a PAL encoded video stream and/or a TV which is able to display PAL. We have the same issue here with NTSC DVDs. You could use a DVD copy program (which is illegal in most countries) to read the DVD to your harddisk and then create a NTSC encoded DVD with tools like Nero.

Good question. As I mentioned in this thread before, my Panasonic DVD player in the entertainment center bitched about it and wouldn't play. However, it might be PAL encoded or regioned. I'd have to load up the DVD in my 'puter to look at the coding...
/me loads it up...
According to Nero's InfoTool: Video Format: PAL 16:9 (Mpeg 2, 720x576) Regions(s): All
Region free!!!
But PAL encoded. That explains it. The PC played it just fine in Media Player Classic. :)
