Hi, I am about to buy in amazon a DVD which says in
parenthesis "NTSC", but I don't know if I will be able to see it, because
I am not in the UK.
Can someone explain this to me, please?
Should I refrain from buying it?
Thanks in advance!

Originally posted by SeitseAre you in Finland? Then the TV and DVD player is likely to be PAL then. Although I think modern DVD players can play both. You will need to give more detail about the DVD player you have. Sony and Phillips will manufacture for PAL and/or NTSC.

PAL and NTSC are both colour television standards that use different methods to achieve the picture. As a broad rule NTSC DVD-Video discs often play in PAL DVD players but PAL DVD-Video discs rarely play in NTSC DVD players.
PAL, an acronym of Phase Alternate Line, was developed in Germany in the late 1960s as a format for colour television. PAL is used today mainly in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, China, the Middle East, and parts of Africa.
NTSC, an acronym of National Television Standards Committee, was developed in the United States and introduced in 1953 as a format for colour television. NTSC is used today mainly in the United States, Japan, Thailand and parts of South America.
