They answered the question on PostEverything. Namely: DVD NTSC & PAL/SECAM info What you need to know is this NTSC DVDs will play on 95% of DVD systems worldwide. PAL/SECAM DVDs will play on only very few DVD systems outside of countries that use PAL/SECAM systems. It works like this, almost all DVD players sold in PAL/SECAM countries are multi-standard. This means they will play both PAL/SECAM and NTSC. Only very expensive systems actually convert between the formats, the multi-standard players instead partially convert the NTSC signal to output pseudo-PAL which is easily handled by most modern PAL/SECAM TVs. This works surprisingly well and most users have more problems over region coding (which is a separate issue) than NTSC/ PAL issues. Pinkflag is making every attempt to make clear that although the vast majority of customers will be able to transparently use its DVD products there will be a small percentage who will not be able to enjoy them on their current equipment. For that reason we urge all potential customers to make sure that they are able to view NTSC DVD on their systems. Pinkflag and PostEverything cannot be held responsible for any disappointment. > it'd be even better than the sub-standard NTSC format, > surely people are not that dumb regarding NTSC & PAL standards these days? > Also why couldn't someone edit some chapters on the DVD? > NTSC Sub-standard???

It took about three times for everything to go through, but, in the end, it worked out, confirmation email and all. Glad to see that the package has been arriving in a timely manner to others here. It's not too expensive for a DVD+CD package; that's my first thought. Good news, as I'm saving this month for the Dawn Of The Dead Ultimate Edition DVD box set. Here's looking forward to it showing up in my mailbox this week. Jason _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

It doesn't really work like that, though, especially when you think of a relatively niche DVD like this one.

I liked this Guardian review of their recent (and excellent) We Fenced Other Gardens With The Bones Of Our Own single. "Sounds at times like someone trying to lure a kitten out of a tunnel by means of a gong. For all that it does possess a certain dark charm, and connoisseurs of dirge rock will hail this as a masterpiece. Everyone else, run away as fast as you can".

Never quite 'got' the Kinks before but this is a cracking record (no hits on it....and seemingly ignored at the time), the folllow up 'Arthur...' being re-issued next which i'm looking forward to hearing. They were kind of the 4th best band of their era (its the Inspiral Carpets syndrome!) and I've overlooked them till now. This has an eerie feel to it which I really like....I feel this perhaps is more evocative of what the "Swinging 60s" were really like for yer average suburban guy or gal...a world away from Rikishesh and Californ-aye-ay. My dad backs this up. N.P. The Radio Dept. "Lesser Matters" (Sounds like a potential classic.....JAMC/New Order/MBV with a bright shiny pop sheen) ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V7 #257 *******************************
