TECHNICAL DVD QUESTIONS

DVD is the new generation of optical disc storage technology. DVD is essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold cinema-like video, better-than-CD audio, still photos, and computer data. DVD aims to encompass home entertainment, computers, and business information with a single digital format. It has replaced laserdisc, is well on the way to replacing videotape and video game cartridges, and could eventually replace audio CD and CD-ROM. DVD has widespread support from all major electronics companies, all major computer hardware companies, and all major movie and music studios. With this unprecedented support, DVD became the most successful consumer electronics product of all time in less than three years of its introduction. In 2003, six years after introduction, there were over 250 million DVD playback devices worldwide, counting DVD players, DVD PCs, and DVD game consoles. This was more than half the numbers of VCRs, setting DVD up to become the new standard for video publishing. For watching DVDs you need standalone DVD Player, connected to your TV set, or DVD-ROM drive, installed to your computer.

Almost all Adult DVD has region code 0 (code free or no region code). It means what this DVD's can be successfully played on all DVD or DVD-ROM players in the world. But you must know that there are various television standards like PAL and NTSC. About this problem we say in next question.

PAL and NTSC are different television standards. PAL is European TV standard. NTSC is applied in the USA and Japan. Almost all DVD players sold in PAL countries play both kinds of discs. These multi-standard players partially convert NTSC to PAL signal. Most modern PAL TVs also can handle this "pseudo-PAL" signal. Most NTSC players CAN'T play PAL discs. A very small number of NTSC players (such as Apex and SMC) can convert PAL to NTSC. Attention please! Many of European DVD's, which we sell on site, coded in PAL standard. US and Japan customers, be sure what your player and TV set allow you watch PAL movies !!! These standards have no importance if you will be play DVD on your computer. PC software allows play PAL and NTSC disk on computer without problems.
