You have to have a DVD player that can play PAL DVDs. Some dual format players, particularly sold in the US, convert the PAL format so it is output in NTSC format. The other type of dual format players output NTSC discs in NTSC format and PAL discs in PAL format. If you have a the first type your NTSC TV will display both (losing the benefits of the (slightly) higher definition in the PAL format). If you have the second type, you will need a dual format TV to play PAL discs. The second combination is more common in countries that used the PAL standard for terrestrial broadcast TV.

No. Although most DVD players have a switch to choose between NTSC and PAL modes, some cheaper ones, as well as other devices like game consoles, do not. Also, even if the device can display on a PAL television, the encoding of the video and the region coding of the disc vs. your player may prevent proper playback.


Is la maison de Nina on DVD can you buy or rent it.?

There is no North American release of this film on DVD with English subtitles. Sellers on eBay offer a Chinese DVD with the original French dialogue and Chinese subtitles, but no English subtitles. You can buy the original French Region 2 DVD from Amazon France, http://www.amazon.fr. However, there is no indication whether there are any subtitles on this DVD. There are some additional problems buying foreign DVDs. Those that are designated for a region other than Region 1 (North America) will not play on many American DVD players (though most cheapo "no name" brand players are "region free" and will play these discs. Also, movies formatted for the European PAL tv systems may not play on some U.S. TVs (though you'd have to have a really old TV and DVD player not to be able to play PAL)

Will Canadian format work in pal fomat DVD player?

No, a Canadian format DVD, which typically uses NTSC, will not work in a PAL format DVD player. PAL and NTSC are two different video formats with incompatible encoding systems. To play a Canadian NTSC DVD on a PAL player, you would need a multi-format or region-free DVD player that supports both formats.


Will a film from America work properly in Ireland?

It depends on what you are referring, to such as a DVD player or video or televsion. In terms of the machines, Ireland works on 240 VOLTS, not 110 volts as in USA, so there would be a major problem on the TV/DVD player if it does not have voltage switch for 240 volts. America works on the NTSC system, most of Europe including Ireland on the PAL system, so your TV would have to be compatible with PAL. So would videos and DVDs that you would want to play.
