Jean, Thanks for the offer but the fact that I know there is a difference and a rough idea as to why is enough for me at the moment Regarding your youngest daughter and bringing her TV/Video/DVD players etc to Australia, check with your DH, Australia house, or I can make enquiries for you. The reason being whilst we use PAL over here I believe the scan frequency is different. I believe this is so as one of my school chums, who migrated to Australia before me, brought a TV back to the UK for his parents - they then had to spend money to get it converted so they could receive UK channels - I suppose he could have bought it at duty free at some stop over but I'm not sure. I'd hate your daughter to spend money sending it over here and then have to spend money getting it converted when it would be cheaper to buy new over here.
Patricia The major film studios insisted on the coding system as a means to discourage piracy otherwise they would not have released films on DVD - the logic being is that as DVD's are digital any copies made should be as good as the original.
