Q: Why are these DVDs so inexpensive?
A:
We do not sell bootlegs, copies, unauthorized material or pirated DVDs. Our DVDs are officially authorized international releases. These DVDs are the same as the U.S. released versions, the same high quality DVD'S.
There is only a slight difference with the packaging and may contain Asian and English writing. They are region free or region 1 which is original English audio and NTSC/PAL format compatible, which means they will play on all region coded DVD players.

Q: Will these DVD's play in English and are they Guaranteed to Play in all USA and Canadian DVD Players?
A:
These DVD's play in English and are guaranteed to Play in all USA DVD Players. ALL DISKS ARE EASILY USED WITH ENGLISH NUMBERS ON the BOXES AND DISKS. They will also play in any other Region 1 NTSC DVD Player. Although the sets are foreign manufactured, the sets are brand new, licensed, legal, factory made high quality DVD's. We do not tolerate or sell pirated or bootleg versions. 

Q: What is PAL, SECAM and NTSC?
A:
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan. It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution. PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution. SECAM (Sequential Color Memory) is used sparingly around the world and can be found in France, parts of Greece, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa and a few other parts of the world. However, any SECAM country can display PAL tapes in full color, but not all PAL countries can display all SECAM tapes in color. Only if they are true SECAM and not MESECAM can those VCR's display SECAM. 

Q: What video standard does my country use?
A:
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC. Most other areas of the world use PAL or SECAM. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL. If you're unsure what your video standard is, contact your local cable or broadcast company. Also, on the back of most video tapes is indicated what video standard the tape is. This is a good representation of what your video standard is.
