Hi all you knowledgeable people - do any of you know if a PAL region free DVD will play on a DVD player in Iran?

(I've been to Iran 10+ years ago but didn't take any notice of the TV system, & the list I have of TV systems shows Iran as 'PAUSECAM' which I suspect is now defunct)

Thanks

Never heard of "Pausecam"! Most likely "Mescam" (Middle East Secam) according to this site, Iran is migrating or has done to PAL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MESECAM#SECAM_varieties

High probabillity that your region free DVD will play OK.

Yes, your dvd will play correctly.

Get my test cards document, and cards for 625, 525, 720 and 1080. Thanks to Gavin Gration for hosting them.
Camera settings documents are held by Daniel Browning and at the EBU
My book, 'Circles of Confusion' is available here.
Also EBU Tech.3335 tells how to test cameras, and R.118 tells how to use the results.
