Hi Don,
A DVD played on a computer should work anywhere in the world,
regardless of format. If you made the discs yourself, I assume you
didn't put a region code in it (that would be a silly thing to do :-).
It should play on most set-top players as well, and pretty much all
modern (last 15-20 year) TVs sold in Europe are dual format (will sync
to both NTSC and PAL signal). Actually that applies to most VHS players
as well.
I don't know how you've made the DVD. I use iDVD (Apple Mac OS X
program) to make DVD's of my son, and everyone I've sent them to
(Europe, USA, Brasil) has been able to watch them without any problems.
Cheers,
Thor

Very sorry to use this forum for a non-Rollei problem, but I need help
regarding European TV/DVD standards.
I have a friend who is writing a children's book and she has produced
some 69 pictures of her life growing up in Italy and moving to the
U.S., and her change as she grew up. Her dad eventually became
Musical Director of MGM and won an Oscar for scoring the Wizard of Oz
so she has lots of contacts in Hollywood but also in Europe.
Now for the problem. I have made Video CD's, DVDs. and regular
self-playing computer CD's for her to send to her friends and
advisors. They all play well here, both on computers and DVD players,
however she reports that the DVDs don't play in Europe. I think I
have the capability to make a PAL DVD- Are DVD's not universal, other
than the region code or should I try a PAL version.
Thanks,
