DVD Formats

All of the DVDs sold via this website are "Region Free", enabling the DVDs to be played by DVD players worldwide. DVDs also need to be encoded to either NTSC or PAL format in order for your DVD and TV to play them back. While most PAL DVD players can play NTSC DVDs, most NTSC DVD players cannot play PAL DVDs.

We simplify this for you by automatically selecting the format for you during the order process. We base the decision based on the country the DVD is being shipped to, and the table below. If the shipping countries format is unknown we will suggest NTSC for you, if the shipping countries format is SECAM we will select PAL. You are left free to change the format during the ordering process if you so wish.
