Video and DVD
information
NTSC/PAL/SECAM: NTSC is
the standard format used in video players in North America and Canada and some
Asian countries like Japan. The PAL format is used almost everywhere else,
especially in Europe, except for France where the standard is SECAM. If you
check your video player's manual it should tell you if you can play other
formats. Many video players in the UK will play NTSC format tapes. If you are
contacting us to look for a rare film it is very important you tell us exactly
what formats you can play, either on video or DVD.
DVD Region Codes:
Almost every DVD player will play just one region, unless you specifically
bought a multi-region DVD player. This is because the film makers don't want
you to buy cheap films from overseas. The world is divided into 6 major region
codes: 1. North America and Canada. 2. Greenland, Europe, Middle
East and South Africa. 3. Phillipines, Vietnam, Thailand and everywhere
in between India and Australia. 4. Central and South America, Australia
and NZ. 5. Africa, India and USSR. 6. China. Many people don't
realise their DVD player can be unlocked to play DVDs from all over the world.
