Think my 3 year old will like it?

 

They probably won't get the story or the emotion of it but it has a bunch of pretty animation and good music.

Brazil is PAL format.

 

Amazon.co.uk has PAL copies used of "Edmond" for under $2, + worldwide shipping under $4.

PAL is the broadcast standard utilized throughout much of the world, and is 100% incompatible with NTSC, the broadcast standard used in the states. It's also incompatible with a third standard, SECAM, that is used here and there. Add the Region 1, 2, 3. . . DVD stuff on top of that and it becomes a total clusterf**k trying to get international commercial video titles to play nice on standard domestic hardware.

To break it down:

 

Film runs 24 frames per second. Video does not however. In Europe and the US, the standard is different. Video in the US runs 30 frames per second. This is commonly referred to as the NTSC standard. In Europe (and elsewhere), Video runs 25 frames a second. This is referred to as the PAL standard. For a long time, filmmakers in the US who chose to shoot video would rent PAL systems to utilize the 25 fps look, which many felt looked closer to film than 30 fps. Nowadays with the advent of HD and many cameras that shoot native 24 fps, this is not as widespread.

 

Region coding has nothing to do with frame rate. Region coding was invented so that studios could control what regions of the world had access to different titles at different times, so that they could roll a film in to theatres in Japan, and not have to compete wth people buying dvds of the same film from Amazon, hurting the box office. Laserdiscs were not region coded and this is what my friends and I would do, usually with foreign films that had been released in the States. You can buy Region-Free DVD Players online. I have two, and they play dvds from any country. They also weren't expensive.

 

FYI.

Yeah, well. . . , NTSC is actually 29.97 fps, and not 30. So There!!

The old-school A/V guys always joke about the quality of broadcast NTSC, and they say it stands for "Never The Same Color". :lolhitting
