Multizone DVD Players [NTSC, PAL]

since we regularly have people ask re: NTSC vs. PAL DVD shows not playing on their DVD player, i thought i'd post a suggestion...

yes, there are ways of converting from one format to the other...but some of these methods create "quality loss" and others supposedly don't [debatable]...

instead, i recommend just buying a Multizone DVD player the next time you purchase one. As a *starting point*, these are two good decks i know will play both formats: Sony DVP-NS575E and the Pioneer DV-373S...both can be found in the $100-$150 range, which i feel is worth the extra few buckz...also, supposedly the cheap Apex DVD players you can get at WallyWorld will play both formats [was that you who posted that before Lynne?]--if so, they are REAL inexpensive for those on a budget...

cheers!
