can american computers play pal format DVDs.? (or do they play a few times before asking for region etc.)? a mate is sending a dvd of vids to the US and rather than automatically/painfully re-encode everything to NTSC I thought I'd ask you lot. :)
please and thank you.

don't confuse region coding with video-formats.
different things.
i for once can play the Fatty DVD excellent on my Mac here in Europe, and since Fatty is from the States i reckon it's in NTSC. Haven't tried it on TV though.

cheers dutchy,
but does that mean a US computer will play a pal dvd? Its fairly important that it does and a deadline is making re-encoding v.difficult.
p.s. duh
