Question: can british dvds play in canada?
Answer: The UK, Europe, Australia, etc use the 625 line 50Hz PAL system. Japan, USA and Canada use the 525 line 60Hz NTSC system. If you can't play a PAL format DVD, although you have a multi-region DVD player, it's possible that your TV is the problem and not the DVD. ... Most North American DVD players can't play PAL discs.
