Hi Paul, First of all, I'm no video DVD expert, but I'm not sure the video format (PAL/NTSC) matters. It's a digital compressed video format (MPEG2, IIRC) on the DVD. It's the player that does the Digital to analogue conversion (where PAL-vs-NTSC comes into play). None of that, of course prevents regional encoding (a different issue), of course.
