Not true. DVDs are still created in two very different video formats, PAL
and NTSC. The difference is that DVD players are much more capable of
converting between the two formats than VCRs ever were. Even in VHS days,
the difference in video formats only largely affected the US. Countries
that primarily used PAL often produced VCRs and TVs That were capable of
displying both formats.
