Does anyone know if there's a region 4 dvd available, and if so, where I'd be able to find it? Thanks
Hi GrandMoose,
I bought mine from amazon.com and the DVD is coded with region 0 which means it can be played anywhere but is NTSC DVD format. But it seems that have changed that as now it says region 1. Most of the region 4 DVD are sold out or are not in stock but I did find the following information that might be helpful....
NTSC
National Television Systems Committee. The colour TV broadcast system used in the US, Canada and Japan. An NTSC picture is made up of 525 horizontal lines and has inferior picture quality in comparison to the PAL system.
Please note: All DVD players sold in PAL countries (Australia) play both NTSC & PAL discs, but your TV monitor must be NTSC compatible in order to view in full colour. Please refer to your user manual or manufacturer to determine compatibility.
PAL
Phase Alternating Line. The colour TV broadcast system used in Australia, UK & Europe. A PAL picture delivers a better quality picture than NTSC due to its 625 horizontal lines (sharper picture and better colours).
Please note: DVD players sold in NTSC countries (United States, Canada and Japan) may not be compatible with the PAL system, preventing playback. Your TV set will also need to be PAL compatible in order to view these DVDs in colour. Please refer to your user manual or manufacturer to determine compatibility.
I hope this info helps a bit.....good luck!!!
