I've been burned in the past by buying a DVD or CD-ROM in Europe and finding that it cannot play in the United States.
I'm looking at buying a DVD from a French site (the chateau of Versailles) and it is described as DVD9 NTSC / All regions. Does this mean it will play on a DVD player in the United States?
I can ask the seller, but I thought I would post here in case anyone is knowledgeable about this.
P.S. I asked the tech guy who takes care of my computers if I could get a DVD player without country restrictions, and he replied rather sternly (which is unusual for him) that it would be illegal for him to sell that to me. This was maybe 5-10 years ago, though.
