I've noticed Best Buy carrying a few import DVD's lately. Two, in particular, that caught my eye were Prince-"Sign O' the Times", and a Live Roxy Music. Does anyone have any info on these? Tom
Have no info on these DVDs in particular, but in any case you need to make sure that your DVD player can play them, depending on the region coding.
IIRC, I saw the same discs at BB, and they were R0 NTSC. I also doubt US BB stores would consider selling them otherwise. Regards,
I guess 99 percent of all DVD players on the market would not have a problem with R0 NTSC. It is PAL that some of the players would stumble on. As an aside, I do prefer the PAL picture myself, but that may be just a matter of being familiar with that type of colors 'cause that is the picture I was growing up with on video (SECAM for broadcasting).
I'm guessing these are Brazillian DVD's. They'll play fine on your Region 1 DVD player, but beware, these are often said to come from VHS masters, or even VHS copies themselves, and the 5.1 sound often turns out to be bogus.
