Hi all,

If you live in the USA and want to view DVDs purchased from either the UK or Australia, or infact just about anywhere in the world, you dont need to spend lots of money to get your DVDs converted to the US standard NTSC. (For different regional formats : http://www.regionfreedvdplayers.com/codefreedvd/tip2.html)

There are DVD players on the market that can do the conversion. They are often termed Region free DVD palyers. Some are really expensive, some not so expensive and some are cheap, the cheap ones are often sold as regular DVD players but are capable of playing all formats if you know a quick hack.

If you want any more info, post a message.

If you own a playstation two. You can buy a region free disc for it. After you insert the disc onto your PS2, you can select whichever region yuo wish to watch. Then Monkey magc will travel across the world.!

i got a multie regon dvd player, their hard to find ya gotta ask as they said their not allowed to lable it as multie region i got a portable dvd player for in the car. and one in the lounge room Monkey Rocks good to see the 13 recently dubbed episodes
its funny how new episdoes are in the middle of earlier dubbed ones sandeys voices alters he sounds different pigsy sounds the same same with monkey and tripitaka
my 2 favouite english dub actors are David collings, who been in dr who, and Andrew Sache from Fawlty towers :)

what do you mean by this? i have a PS2 and im pretty keen to play NTSC DVD's (i live in Australia) how do you know what DVDs are region free?

stick to PAL if you want to preserve the colour and Audio quality of your dvds and videos

NTSC is a format that is not as superior as PAL in terms of colour pixel ratio

Lines/Field 525/60
Horizontal Frequency 15.734 kHz
Vertical Frequency 60 Hz
Colour Subcarrier Frequency 3.579545 MHz
Video Bandwidth 4.2 MHz
Sound Carrier 4.5 MHz
for NTSC: the important area to look at is Colour subcarrier
and then the sound carrier.


Line/Field 625/50 625/50 525/60
Horizontal Freq. 15.750 kHz
Vertical Freq. 60 Hz
Color Sub Carrier 4.433618 MHz
Video Bandwidth 5.0 MHz
Sound Carrier 5.5 MHz

for PAL format


hope that helps out ...... something i studied in Visual/graphic Arts

thankyou, this has also helped me immensly. I rencently purchased a DVD from the USA that was region 1 and it didnt work on my DVD player, i then proceded to become quite agro at it and ended up smahing the disc over my head several times. (if all you people out there in monkey land couldn't tell, that was a joke)
