Taking an American movie to India |
|
|
A child in India has requested that I bring her a copy of "Wizard of
Oz" during my next visit (I am in the USA). They have a VCR and a DVD
player but the following technical issues are confusing me:
1. Video Tape: I think India and USA have different systems (PAL and
NTSC respectively). I don't think what I buy here will play there...?
2. DVD: Don't manufacturers restrict these by "zones"? In other words a
dvd bought in the US may not play overseas?
What is the best way for me to take this movie to her?
For those reading in India, is this available locally? She lives in a
smaller town but if i could buy in Delhi (Palika Bazaar etc) I'd just
do that. Thanks.

Ajanta, have you checked e-Bay for legal, Bharat-playable copies of the movie?

Get the DVD, rip it, and make it region-free, make new copy. Sorted. |

Making a DVD region free does not make it into a different video standard such |
as PAL. |
