Digital is neither NTSC or PAL. Those are exclusively analogue. It rather
annoys that DVDs are labelled as NTSC and PAL when what they're referring
to is a region.

If that is the case, how is it possible I have a DVD that is PAL, but
all regions?


(I bought it by mistake, didn't notice the PAL, can't play it on my
DVD player**, but can on the computer. **The DVD player in the other
thread is broken.)
