NTSC vs PAL

Hi,

If I bought a DVD from America which is obviously NTSC would I be able to play/watch it in the UK as the UK standard is PAL?

If I would have to convert it to PAL could anyone give me a link to any web sites that would help me with this?

I googled it but I couldnt find anyhting that give me a definitive answer!

Thanks in advance!

Hrmmm... This might be a good start. :)

And this software may also help:

The keyword is converting Region 1 DVDs to Region 2 (rather than using NTSC and PAL, which are more VHS standards IIRC)

Excellent that was exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much!
