its a choreography, her English is great. What I like most about it, is just getting a feeling about her personality, the Way she teaches and what she says...and its as close as we can get to taking a ws with her, its just precious. i will have to get it out and watch again soon.

DVD is definitely not universal. The video image that is stored on the disk is still either in NTSC format or PAL format. NTSC/PAL/SECAM all refer to engineering definitions of what the television is expecting. In other words, how many frames per second, how many lines of little dots to create the image on screen, etc.

The television really doesn't know whether the image it's receiving comes from a broadcast signal, a VCR with a VHS tape, or a DVD player. All it knows is that it is receiving certain number of frames per second, certain image size, etc., and it displays what it receives.

Most of the NEWER DVD players in the U.S. are smart enough to read both NTSC and PAL, and if it's PAL, convert it to NTSC before feeding it to the television. All of the DVD players I currently have are able to do this. However, many older DVD players are either unable to read PAL at all, or if they do read it they pass it through to the television as PAL, and the television rejects it. I used to have an old DVD player that had this problem.
