U.S dvds, playing them in Aust?

Question

I ordered a bunch of dvd's from america and when they arrived none played! I spoke with the company they were from and they informed me that they did not have any dvd's in stock that would play on an Australian dvd player! They were all good about it and re-funded my money and because the postage to return them will cost too much they told me i didn't have to return them.

Is there a specific dvd player i can get that will play these dvd's?

Answer 1

My sister purchased a DVD player in Big W at Miranda Fair that plays DVD's from America.

Answer 2

you need a player that can read region 1 dvds.  also, your tv needs to be able to accept NTSC signal since US dvds use that instead of PAL
