Eh? DVDs do not have PAL or NTSC restrictions, they are digital - DVD players do. The discs have regional protection codes. PAL and NTSC have to do w/ frame rate of your TV monitor. If you only watch on the computer, you would not think of it as a "restriction" since the computer converts automatically. There are some players nowadays that play both, but here in the USA, my DVD player WILL NOT play PAL videos, even region 0. It actually says "region restriction" on the TV. In addition to this we have the coding (regions 0-5). Most code free players are designed to play both Pal and NTSC, so again you would not notice this if you have one. In the USA I can only watch NTSC region 0 or 1 on my TV. On the computer I can watch PAL, NTSC, Region 0 or 1, or choose to change my code (5 chances then it locks). Lots of good Japanese vids are NTSC, region 2. The codes were developed by movie industries in the USA so the Japanese did not get the stuff out for home viewing before the movie companies wanted (The Japanese maybe don't pay royalties like w/ music transcriptions, but get the stuff out fast and cheap). Now they have region free players so folks in different regions can watch, but again same problem. So USA Movie industry now encodes some movies that are "region 1" so they won't play on the region-free players. How about that! Nunez vid is double sided for the reason it is meant to be watched world wide. (I can't watch the PAL side on my TV). Therefore it is also region 0. Ricardo
