dvd "regions" are not the same as the video format.
regions are just a flag.
PAL/NTSC are incompatible video formats.
for example, there are region 2 PAL and region 2 NTSC discs.
there are PAL-capable players [i have one] and there are all-region players.
don't get a PAL disc unless you KNOW you can play it.

bypassing the regions is trivial, playing PAL in
NTSC territory is less so, but doable of course...
