    I don't recall any point in time when playing video with a differing frame 
rate or frame size was any kind of problem on a computer. Computers have pretty
much always had arbitrary setups likely to not match the local TV standard.

    I play stuff from the other side of the pond all the time. Some of the
stuff I have is just obscure ethnic material and other stuff is just items that
are hard to find or expensive in my local region.
