i have a panasonic l50, which was from hong kong - it has a NTSC screen which means it plays pal in black and white :(

which mean it's gonna cost loads to convert it and get a new screen (which is not worth its while coz it al be so much money)

NTSC movies are region 1 and 2......i think?
does that mean that if i buy ntsc movies they will work in colour?

if yes - does anyone know a web site that sells region 1 and 2 dvds? or even which countrys are region 1 and 2?

thanks,just lookin for a way around this otherwize i am gonna have to ditch it and buy a new player

www.play.com sells both region 1 & 2

read your tv manual some tvs let you switch between pal/ntsc. ?

Being from the UK you really should what countries R2 covers and that it is generally not NTSC.

R1 covers the US and they are therefor generally NTSC.

delta - my tv is multi standard,so they may work in colour, although a guy i talked to said he didnt think it would....... but fingers crossed :)

strangely pal vcd's work in colour on my portable and on my tv???

thanks for confirming celtic, i guess if i want dvds in colour on my portable il have to buy all my dvds from R1

thanks for the info guys

not totally shure here but sometimes a scart lead sorts it out.
also if you buy dvdr s then the will be multiregion so should'nt cause any probs.
or smash telly and get new one on insurance
