A Word about DVD Region Codes and Formats

As you may know, DVDs come in a range of formats, both in the type of media, and also the format they are recorded in.
Highlander WorldWide DVDs are DVD-R discs. These DVDs will play in most good quality DVD players.

Region Codes:
When DVDs were developed the World was divided into different Regions. Commercially produced DVDs are encoded with the Region (Countries) that the DVD will only be able to play in. Many DVD players are manufactured ‘Multi-Region’ – and can play a DVD for any Region.

(Note: DVD players in computers are also Region coded.  You can re-set the region a number of times, before it finally locks onto any particular one).

HLWW DVDs are NOT Region encoded.  They will play in DVD players/Computer in any country, regardless of if your DVD player is a Multi-Region player, or not.  Subject to the format – see below.

Formats:
DVDs come in different formats, predominantly, NTSC or PAL.  NTSC and PAL relate to the format your television/DVD player is capable of receiving and playing.  In most countries your television/DVD player will be capable of both NTSC and PAL .  Computers can interpret both.

However, currently, our USA/Canadian members are less likely to have a TV that can receive/playback a non NTSC signal.

The majority of HLWW DVD sales are to the USA/Canada and UK/Europe – all of which can play the NTSC format.  HLWW members in other countries have indicated that the NTSC format is not an issue for them.  Hence recent, and all new HLWW DVDs, are available in the NTSC format, only.
