HI ALL im tryin to buy a dvd with tom hanks in called greyhound but it says video format is
NTSC will this play on my multi region dvd player an smart tv ? anyone know ?
chrisb
 
It might Chris, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'm not sure if NTSC is relevant to a DVD, as it's a standard for the way the colour information is encoded when broadcast.
When I was teaching colour TV servicing in the 1970s we joked that it stands for "Never Twice the Same Colour"!

US and Japanese standard wasn’t it Pete? Ours was PAL 625 lines if I’m not going mad…..
 
Tim,
I think your right. A mate of mine bought a video in the PX in Germany thinking he got a great deal but wouldn't work with the British TV.
 
US and some European countries Tim. Japan used a sort of hybrid system that could transmit PAL or NTSC equally badly.

OH DEAR im sorry i asked i think i'll wait till it comes out on region 2

1. ntsc is how colour is encoded ( agree with you stillp )
2. region is how a DVD was locked for sale in different countries.
3. most multiregion DVD players can play any region and pal/secam/ntsc discs ( you can get region 2 NTSC discs )
4. any modern TV can display 25fps and 30fps footage.

Greyhound was sold to Apple TV, which means they want you to watch it on Apple TV

Sounds like a knock off Chris. A work colleague of mine bought a cheap DVD off of EBay of the first Avatar film when it was still doing the cinema rounds……he said the quality was OK, not great, but OK, right up until somebody got up and walked out half way through…..it had been filmed in the cinema!

HI Tim well i find the knock off ones are done on a purple dvd an i got one from aus but dint complain as it was too much hassle but i also bought a dvd from a charity shop an i look inside now at the disk an if it purle then i gave it back for my money back as genuine ones are silver
