So my brother is deployed to Afghanistan and bought some DVD's there but he doesn't know anything about the PAL and NTSC coding on dvd's. Anyways, he popped in a PAL dvd and now he can't watch any of his dvd's from here in the states which are NTSC. It appears that when he went to play a PAL dvd it changed the encryption on his computer so when he puts in a NTSC it kicks the dvd back out and tells him to insert a disc into his E drive.

Does anyone know of this or can anyone make any sense of this? I talked to some guys at work who said you can get a converter or something that lets you play both types but I couldn't find anything on this type of stuff as I really don't know what to search for.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!
