Russian films

[Brewer, Michael]

Deborah, 

Check out this site.  It describes format and regional encodings issues.
NTSC is what plays on US machines.  You also need to watch out for
regional encodings, however.

Keep in mind this question is coming from someone who doesn't own a DVD
player (yes, in 2006!) but is considering getting one:  I notice the
DVDs on russiandvd.com seem to be marked NTSC.  Is this the format that
will play on a US-purchased player?  What is the format common in Russia
so I know what to avoid (i.e. if I see something on Ebay, etc.)?
  Thanks! Deborah
