PAL vs. NTSC DVDs in region free player

[saurabh]

hmmm... my previous thread has led me to another question.......I know you cant play Region 1 DVD's in Region 4 or others but I also know that you have regionfree DVD players....or you can tweak your DVD's to be region free.......but the real question coming to my mind is :

Can you play a Region 1 DVD in Region 4 on a regionfree dvd player ?????

Keep in mind Region 1 uses NTSC and Region 4 PAL format. Does it make a diff for the DVD's region code or format (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) as long as the DVD player can play it ?????

I dont know..........

AFAIK the NTSC vs. PAL is handled by the DVD player, and most region free players can handle both or are switchable between the two.

You'd set the player to match your TV. If you have a NTSC TV, you'd set the player to NTSC. If you have a PAL TV, you'd set it to PAL. Then watch your DVDs as always.

P.S. I edited your thread title to be more meaningful.

thanks...after the question came to my mind, I searched for my DVD player manual (although its not regionfree) and it stated the same, just select the TV type (PAL/NTSC) and the conversion will be done by the player, based on the disc format.
