The Lone Ranger you are wrong as always..I got two copy of Disney by HVN. One is PAL and other other is NTSC..email them is the best way to find out.

Sorry to misinform you:

HVN used NTSC for earlier films but due to international Custom problems, decided to change to PAL. All new HVN movies(Disney, Columbia, and Universal films) are PAL only. Many newer Universal films in Hong Kong are now PAL as well. So far DeltaMac and Era are the only companies left in Hong Kong who support NTSC. In Malaysia no company is left that supports NTSC(HVN repressed all the CIC owned films). Also many home VCD players are autoswitching but NTSC TVs are not. If you plan to play these on an NTSC/PAL DVD player...get ready for some compatiblity problems. PCs though have no problems.

I've bought a couple of VideoCDs from www.Videocds.com, and so far all of their VCDs are recorded in PAL format.
