UK videos and DVDs are in PAL format whereas the standard for US and Japanese videos is NTSC. Many more modern videos will play both formats and you should check in your VCR manual for this. PAL format videos play nearly everywhere in the world apart from the USA and Japan. DVDs are categorised by zone and customers should ensure that they can play the particular zone before ordering. All DVD’s can played on PC’s irrespective of the zone category.
