Question about Region 0, PAL

Okay, Region 0 means that it plays on any region, right? Well, do Region 0 PAL discs play on Region 1 players?

yes - but you won't see it unless your player will convert the PAL signal to NTSC. If you have an Xbox, it will convert PAL to NTSC so you can watch a R0 PAL DVD on that.

I don't know if mine will or not....Are there any good websites where you can look up info on which DVD players will or won't convert it to PAL? Thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it!

www.nerd-out.com - those forums are useful. Other than that, I suppose you could post the model DVD player you have and someone here can tell you. In all likelyhood - your player will not convert PAL to NTSC... and if it does, it will not do it correctly. Only a few players using certain chips can do the proper conversion. So, short of an Xbox, you probably have to buy a special player to play it.

If you have a DVD-ROM drive, you should be able to watch R0 PAL discs on your computer.
