Differences NTSC or PAL on DVD’s
aleck is better at explaining this than i am…pal and ntsc refer to video formats, and yes you can buy recorders that play both…dvd’s are encoded for regions; region 1 being us and canada (i think [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]), region 2 being europe, and so forth…i have been looking for dvd players for both, but right now what seems to be available are software patches to make the players adaptable to the other regions…these software patches invalidate any warranty you may have on the player though…as far as dvd content; the uncut episodes are the same, it’s the ‘extras’ that are different; interviews, behind the scenes stuff, trivia quizzes, actor bios and so forth…the biggest difference i can tell thus far is that the europeans get their stuff earlier, because america has the whole ‘sell into syndication ‘ thing going, and releasing dvds would kill profits from reruns (theoretically)…aleck, honey, feel free to jump in any time now [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
