Any suggestions welcome. > > > John W Hansen Hi John, The fact your PC won't play the disc does strongly suggest it was mastered as NTSC. Is your TV capable of showing NTSC (USA format) TV pictures? Is your DVD player region free or locked to region 2? If the answer to either or both of these is No (especially the first) then you'll probably need it converted to PAL as Richard has offered. If your TV *can* view NTSC then you might be able to unlock the DVD player to make it region free. There are several websites listing methods for (nearly) all makes and models of DVD player.
