Mexico is Region 4 NTSC but could be converting to PAL.

Its always a problem with knowing if a country is NTSC, most guides i seen say just "ntsc is usa" or "ntsc usa and japan". Now i know mexico too, and i already knew Philippines and Korea is NTSC. How many more are there?

Buy a PAL disc that has a boatload of subtitles and check them all, noting the languages. That's usually the best way to find out in the cases of specific countries.

I really wish Australia would go back to NTSC. After the debacle of pitch-correction with the Lord Of The Rings discs (which, if you strip out the inane commentaries and DTS soundtrack, will easily fit on a pair of DVD-Rs), the benefits of PAL are just eclipsed by the annoyances. Why oh why can't they come up with a 24fps video standard?

I believe that all of N. America and most of S. America uses NTSC. A few countries (namely Brazil, Argentina) use PAL-M or -N which are a PAL-60 variant (PAL w/ 30 fps).

Despite the fact Brazil has its own official system color which is PAL-M, a variation of PAL (used for networks and cable tv), it also uses NTSC just for video cassette industry (remember the old VHS?) and DVD/DVD players. Nowadays most tv sets made in Brazil are dual NTSC/PAL-M. Next year Brazil whill choose its official HDTV system.

I live in Mexico so I can assure you that we are 100% NTSC TV format and region 4 for DVD, with no plans to change that, In fact here in the northern part of Mexico where I live, are quite common satellite systems (both DSS and Analog) that receive TV broadcast meant to the US without any problems in compatibility.
