Does 'All NTSC' DVDS play in any dvd player.

[BalancedScience]

I am asking this question as I have a dvd that is 'all ntsc' and plays in my xbox which is pal. Can you guys please tell me if they can play in any dvd player or do I need to buy a region free player. Thanks in advance.

PAL/NTSC and regions are unrelated. My standalone is region free, but has a hard time playing NTSC format DVD (It plays them jerky like).
No matter what TV system used on a DVD, it can have any (or none) region protection code.

Hi,

I have a question. My dvd video plays on the toshiba sd21900 but not on the Philips dvdr75 or sampo players. It is NTSC and I thought all NTSC dvd videos play in all ntsc players

They do, all commercial pressed DVD-Rom disks do anyways. Not all consumer burnable media plays in all players however. If -R didnt work, try +r. If neither work, try another brand media. If no go, then too bad so sad. It's not a perfect science unfortunately.

Thanks for your help duhmez. So how can a commercial DVD video play in one player -the toshiba but not in a another NTSC player such as Sampo or Philips. Its not a consumer media.
thanks
