Have Ordered A Dvd From France

[emmie]

its in English, so just wondered if its going to work on my dvd player.

It should be fine as it will be a region 2 dvd which covers the whole of Europe.


Dave.

[emmie]

thank you, i hope so, as couldn't get a copy here for some reason.

it should do; but it should say on it somewhere (or somewhere on the website you ordered it from) exactly which regions it will play in.

[CrapAtCryptics]

if it wont play let us know what make/model you have and we can find you a temporary hack to play it- usually just a combination of buttons on the remote to make it temporarily multi region.

France has a different system for their colour TVs, so you might have a problem with that. If you're lucky your DVD player will convert it from SECAM to PAL.

SECAM/PAL was only relevant for broadcast material, not DVD recordings...and is no longer an issue, anyway...it was only relevant for analogue set-up and France went digital (DVB-T) several years ago.

Thanks for that gingejbee. Many years ago a colleague had a video tape that was in the wrong format; I could play it on my machine but couldn't save the output in PAL. I wondered if the problem still existed - clearly it doesn't.
