Can I play a European DVD on a North American computer?

It is possible if all of these conditions are additionally met:

(a) you obtain a travel plug adapter so that you can use the US DVD player

(b) either your us DVD player will need to be able to play in PAL since the US uses NTSC -or- you'll need to bring an NTSC TV with another travel plug adapter (ignore (c) )

(c) connecting cables are different...prepare to adapters to get the audio and video to the non-US set....I was able to accomplish this by buying cheap parts at a Pound Store to cannabalize and make my own wires..
