They are most likely region free then, but they are more than likely PAL
unless they specifically say they are NTSC, as everything in the UK is PAL.
Computers dont care about PAL or NTSC, but standalones do. Since you have
DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter you can easily tell if they are region free
and/or NTSC/PAL by just reading the screen info...
