I think it should, as there seems to be pal/ntsc in the specs. (btw in swedish, not finnish, lausey)

Yeah, I know, it's not easy to have them as neighbors... and within
the city walls as well! RUN! RUN! 😲

Seitse...nowadays the NTSC vs PAL thing is almost irrelevant for most dvd players and tv's. (my cheapo magnasonic just has a button I press if I want to play PAL dvd's)

What you need to find out is what REGION the DVD is for. There are different REGIONS around the world so that movie and record labels can release stuff at different times and have it only be able to played in that specific region.

Make sure your DVD is for your REGION. Some DVD players will have a hack you can use (like holding PAUSE and Eject at the same time) but you'll have to check the net for that.

Hey, that's useful, uzless, thanks!

In a worst case scenario, I can play it on a PC, right?

not neccessarily. PC makers usually write the code to recognize what kind of dvd it is (either PAL or NTSC) and then lock the dvd drive after about 5 plays. You can hack it again to unlock it but it can be a pain.

You might get away with it and be able to play both with no problem...just givin you a heads up on potential problems
