Dvd Format Info

Although DVD is a common worldwide format, there are some problems that can occur. This page will hopefully help to explain those problems to all our customers, wherever they reside.

Television Systems

There are differences however in the television systems in various areas of the world.

PAL (Phase Alternating Line) is the television system used in the South Africa, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and India.

NTSC (National Television System Committee) is the television system used in the United States, Canada and Japan.

As a result a DVD is manufactured to play either using the PAL system, or using the NTSC system. The format we currently use is PAL.

Your Dvd Player

Virtually all modern DVD players on sale in the South Africa, United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Europe will play both PAL and NTSC discs. If you have any doubts about your dvd player's ability to play NTSC discs, take a look at your dvd manual and look for the phrase "NTSC Playback".

Your Television

Most modern television sets in the South Africa, United Kingdom and Europe will display a perfect picture when your dvd player is playing a NTSC disc. However some older television sets cannot cope with the NTSC signal and may display the picture in black and white. (PAL discs will play in colour whatever the age of the television set). To fully utilise your television set's ability to display NTSC pictures, your dvd player must of course be connected to your television set using a scart/euro cable or another direct cable link. Again, if you are in doubt whether your TV will display a colour picture when playing NTSC discs, refer to your television instruction manual and look for the phrase "NTSC Playback" or "NTSC Compatibility".

If you find that your TV only displays a stable black and white picture when playing a NTSC dvd, you can purchase an inexpensive conversion box to show those pictures in colour. Visit www.lektropacks.co.uk and look at their Video Standard Converter CN-100P.

Your Computer

All the DVDs on this website will play perfectly on most computer DVD Rom drives (but NOT on a computer CD Rom drive - it must be a DVD Rom). All the PAL DVDs should also play on a UK Play station console.

NTSC DVDs however may require the Play station to be modified to accept NTSC discs.
