The movie Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris doesn't seem to be available on DVD in the US. I found it online in the UK, but before I buy it can anyone tell me if it will play in US DVD players? I don't know much about Region coding and whether or not European DVDs are PAL vs NTSC etc. or if that is a function of the player not the disk.

European discs are PAL, North American discs are NTSC. You'll need a player that can accept a PAL disc and be made multi-region.


If your display does not accept a PAL signal (which can be hard to find out in the US), make sure the player also does PAL->NTSC conversion.


Search this forum for "PAL" and you'll find recommendations.

Thanks, I have an Oppo 971H that supposedly plays PAL and NTSC, so I will go over to the player forum and find out if anyone has used that feature successfully.

The 971 will work fine. There is a code you enter with the remote to make it region-free, then you are set to go.

This may help.


BTW, I have a couple of OPPOs (971H and a DV 981HD). I buy DVDs from all over the world and every disc has played in both DVD players without any problems at all.
