|  Re: NTSC DVD Playing on Pal Computers??
Peter, if he wants a stand-alone machine to hook up to his TV, then he'll also need a TV that can display a PAL picture. If he wants to play on his PC or Mac, the additional DVD-ROM player would be an inexpensive solution.
We're talking about whole players here, not a mod-chip. Mod-chips are for displaying unauthorized content, which is probably not Robert's intent.
I have a friend who has received DVDs from Russia, and cannot play them here because of the different video format. She went to one of the larger retailers here and was told that a particular Philips player would play anything she had. And it will, as long as it's NTSC. He didn't catch that Russia uses a different television format.
