: On the DVD front, I believe Europe is in what is called region 2, and the states are region 1. And like VHS, the two are not compatible.
Well, the truth is still out there :)
You can bye DVD players in Europe that play US DVDs but I would not suggest to buy one before next year.
And here an answer for the VHS question (PAL/NTSC): In fact all VRCs you can buy in Europe that cost $ 400.- or more CAN play the US NTSC format.
You don NOT need a $ 2500 mulitstandard VRC.
sas (BTW: I am from Europe - Austria in fact - and own NTSC videos c|:)
