    DVD Region and Format Info


    DVD (Digital Video Disc) Format Information

    Digital Video Disc (DVD) is a high density disc similar in appearance to an audio CD yet capable of high fidelity video playback.

    DVD Regions
    DVDs have both a built in decryption system and are coded for specific regions throughout the World. They will, however, also play on non-region specific DVD players. These are common around the world and growing in popularity as it allows the owner to view any DVD purchased from anywhere in the world.

    Before sending family and friends any of our DVDs it would be wise to ask them to consult their player manuals for compatibility.

Please ensure you are able to play PAL standard DVD before placing your order. World Television Standards are listed below.

    * Almost all of the DVDs available at A-Cappella.com are in NTSC format. However, we do offer some titles in PAL format (look for the PAL abbreviation under "Format").
