Hi Everyone,
Apologies if this is obvious to most people, but having just started working in DVDs, after many years producing audio CDs I find there are many more pitfalls. Sorry if this is answered elswehere....
I've just produced a music DVD in the UK, mainly aimed at the UK/European market but with the possibility of a few copies being bought overseas (mostly US and Australia) The discs were produced in PAL and coded region 2. (widescreen 16:9 aspect)
It seems that the person who was doing the job before me had all-region coding but PAL projects.
We have had a few customers in the US who have been able to play our DVDs before, but not this one. I thought that US machines would not generally play PAL discs even if they have region-free players?
Also, am I right in thinking someone in Australia with a region-free player should be able to play back a Region 2 PAL DVD without any problem?
Many thanks in advance
Daniel
