If your playback equipment such as your dvd player and tv are NTSC then you cannot playback a PAL dvd or vice versa. Some dvd players and tv`s can play both but not all. If your playback equipement can only play one or the other then you would have to convert it to the format that your playback equimpment supports. Nero Vision can convert PAL to NTSC and does a pretty good job at it but it is a slow process.

Have a read of these two definitions: PAL and NTSC. When someone always asks about converting NTSC > PAL or visa versa, I always give the same response. Buy a DVD player and TV which can play both. It saves a lot of time and hassle. A lot of time the so called converters don't do their job properly and can create an even bigger mess.

I have only converted about 5 PAL movies to NTSC using Nero Vision and all play fine.
