Will DVD de-crypt cure this problem?

Small-scale producers won't have region coding on their DVDs.

However, the vid will be PAL / 25fps.

Most DVD players in the Rest Of The World can handle PAL and NTSC and
output whatever you want. But in the US ( and I'd guess Canada ), they
are generally fixed NTSC only. It will just barf at the PAL disk.

Decrypting progs typically don't fix the PAL / NTSC conversion required.

You can hunt for a program, or ask if the producers can create one for
you in NTSC / 30fps

There *will* be several available......

For a start. I'd guess the North American continent will be one of the
biggest markets.

Failing that, Any DVD decrypter will rip it, and just about any video
editing program will convert it. I use AnyDVD, which is illegal to use
in the USA due to the Millenium copyright act or whatever it's called.
