I was the one to think of it , do it first, and after success with my Samsung, recommended as worth a try for others.
First, your DVD Player *STILL* must have the capability of converting PAL to NTSC already. The reason why this worked on the Samsung, Sony, and RCA is because they already convert PAL to NTSC for VCD/SVCD, just not for DVD.
Next, the header change does nothing but tell the DVD Players that it is a NTSC DVD, therefore, they don't "spit it out" like they were doing before when they read it was PAL.
Last, yes, it shows on the TV perfectly fine, but that is because once these DVD Players are tricked into accepting it as a NTSC DVD, these players then realize immediately it is PAL Video, and then begin to convert the video the same way they already do with VCD/SVCD.
There is no guarantee it will work....but worth trying. The header trick does not work for my Pioneer, as my old Pioneer doesn't convert PAL to NTSC for any format. Goodluck,
Paula
