We sell NTSC and PAL DVDs to customers all over the world on a daily basis without much problem. Occasionaly there are a few customers with older set top DVD players that cannot do a signal conversion.

Very detailed instruction on the finer points that many overlook on their grading exams. Even if you're not close to testing for 4th dan + it's still a very informative book/DVD showing what you should be paying attention to.
