Region Coded DVD

Post by Moustache_Bash »

They suck.

I just got this DVD, super cheap. I'm looking at it, and it is French/Canadian. Like, it has English and French on it. Will it play in the United States of America? I could send it back, but I'm lazy.

It should be NTSC and thus playable in Murrca.

Try it :idk: worst that could happen is that it won't play. It should, though. Canada's part of the region 1 coding.

Pffft, I don't even know what you're saying.



Just kidding, I didn't want to open it and then the company be like "Well you opened it so we're gonna slap you in the face with boners/nonreturnable."

That makes sense. I've bought some used DVDs off amazon that came coded for different regions, I assumed you were dealing with a similar situation. That's weird.

Most DVD players are regionless these days anyway. They stopped pretending that shit actually works a while ago.

most players can be made all region with a few remote control commands. NTSC/PAL conversion might be needed, though, too....but, yeah, french canadian shouldn't even be an issue.
