[Dixielandjazz] US vs UK DVD's

[Ron Wheeler]

I don't know if it's the same NTSC [US] versus PAL [Europe] difference, but
yes, most DVD's are formatted for their home 'regions'.  A few are playable
worldwide, but without knowing that for sure, it'd be safest to assume you
can't buy a DVD in the UK and play it in the US.

I am aware there are differences in video systems between the United 
States and the UK and/or Europe.  Does this carry over into DVD's?  Can 
a DVD burned on a US  video recorder or computer be played on a UK 
player or computer and vice versa?  Can US commercial DVD's be played in 
the UK?  Is there conversion software for such differences?
