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.
In America? NTSC. In Europe? PAL
It's a DVD video in the NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) video format (analog TV) which is 525 lines of resolution.
You can modify your NTSC settings by either modifying the 'firmware'. Alternatively, you can purchase "chips" that can be installed in your player that can play the PAL format.
well as a matter of fact region zero is always better than goin for ntsc or pal because you can play all the DVD titles which may either be ntsc or pal support.. regardin price i think your DVD player has an option to convert it into region zero. so ensure that when you buy a DVD player its made REGION FREE that is region zero..
NTSC DVD players are extremely affordable in America. You won't find many PAL players over here because they don't work with our electrical system very well.
North America uses NTSC colour encoding at 59.94Hz, while Europe uses PAL at 50Hz. Additionally, US DVDs are zoned to prevent them being used in other parts of the world.

the running time of the movie "The Matrix" is 136:13 min (NTSC DVD) or 130:46 min (PAL DVD). that would be 8173 seconds (NTSC) or 7846 seconds (PAL). -HisDudeness
In short no. France and much of Europe use a different system for their TV's. the US use NTSC and Europe uses PAL. They are not compatible. The only way to get around it is to either copy the DVD to your computer and re-burn it in PAL format; or make sure that the person you are sending the DVD to has a multi-region DVD player.
only if ur DVD player is codefree & supports PAL dvds. usually a DVD player sold in the us only accepts rc1 dvds.Australian dvds are RC4. and PAL. US dvds are NTSC. so if the us DVD player is a cool one it should play the DVD :) any PC can play it with the right software, i.e. the VLC media player (www.videolan.org). greetz
