I've played that disc in a lot of different dvd players (from ultra cheap to expensive) and I have never seen a dvd player that could not play both the PAL and NTSC clips. Maybe in europe all (or most) PAL players can also play NTSC but maybe in the US NTSC players can rarely play PAL.

EDIT: The disc was region free, I made it myself.


I've had about 20 DVD players (I have 5 now and they ALL play PAL - 3 are region free) and out of all of them the only ones I had that could NOT play PAL were my Sony, Denon and a Pioneer. SO for the most part MOST DVD players DO play PAL - the problem is that here in the USA the players are lock at REGION 1 (Thanks MPAA!) and MOST PAL DVD's are not Region 1 but if the DVD's were region free I bet you'd see and hear about more players that do play PAL.

Arnie.d - In Europe are all the players locked for your region or are they mostly region free (can you play US retail DVD without a hitch)?

Nope some of them sell the ORIGINAL DVD and include a CLEAN version on DVDr, they also use Adobe, and Sony software for the edits JUST LIKE MagnoliaFan and ADigitalMan and the rest of the usual suspects...

My sister turned me on to this a few years back (uber-Catholic) and she bought a few movies they sent the original DVD and a DVDr with a disclaimer in a paper sleeve as for the rentals according to a few of the companies the BUY an original for EACH rental that they send out - visit the sites and check out what they offer.

Hardcore faith based group routinely EDIT and SELL "Fan Edits" - I'm not joking here gang.

CLEANFLICKS, CLEANFILMS, Flicks Club, FamilySafe Movies and this company EVEN SELLS A STAR WARS EDIT!! Family Edited DVD's

Also there are legal actions being taken... On both sides.

As for the "legality" of the practice of fan editing... Find Law Legal News and and Commentary and AMC had a GREAT doc by ABC called Bleep! Censoring Hollywood which also airs again on Airs Tuesday, April 26 at 10PM ET/PT.


Hmmmmm....

MAYBE I should buy a stack of Episode 1-3 DVD's and market them under "SANITIZED FOR STUPIDITY" Edits

Not really man the general rule is Poop in poop back out... BUT there are a few very nice transfers out there (if you don't have them all already ) but I may be wrong but I'm kinda sure that that is the rule

Craig welcome to the forum....


BUT...


It's not a great idea to make your first post requests for the discs... I'm not trying to come down on ya but it is considered bad form to make your first post asking for something.

And no the DVD's are NTSC so you'll need to be able to play NTSC but there is a great PAL transfer out there, so PLEASE read the forums threads and you will find ALL the information you seek

As far as Prune Face is concerned. Your wish is my command. I have already written a small section about the action figures.

Oh, and it's gonna be PAL!

Mitch,

I watched the whole rough cut the day you sent it but I've been tooling are my rides (and I deleted your email sorry!!)

There are a few things that I felt didn't play right with the cuts like when Lenny gets Lex and after the Sups/Clark double date (maybe nix this whole seen?) BUT I do like were it's going and look forward to the final version!

THANKS so much for the screener and I'm down to watch them when you send them (and I'll flag your email addy so I don't delete it!)
