If you just play back the DVD on a computer, using a software-based DVD
player (such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, for example), watching the movie on
your computer monitor, "PAL" or "NTSC" doesn't matter. (You may need a
DVD-ROM drive with a "region free" firmware in order to conveniently
play back discs from various regions other than your own.)
With stand-alone DVD players and real tv sets, it's a different story.
In that case, it depends on the make and model and capabilities of the
said devices and, possibly, their menu settings.
