    Why don't my NTSC DVDs work?!?

    Hey there.
    I've just recently discovered that my DVD-ROM
    won't play any DVDs marked with the NTSC logo.
    Any other region-1 DVD plays just fine.I'm using
    an ACER 1040A DVD drive with the PowerDVD 2.5
    player.My video card is a Voodoo3 3000 TV-out,but
    I like to watch DVDs on my PC monitor(a NEC 17").
    When I place any NTSC disk in my drive,it attempts
    to read it,but then makes a "skipping" sound and
    my Win98 tells me there's no DVD in the drive.Is there a software fix for this problem,or is it a
    hardware compatibility issue??? Any insight would
    be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm not personally familiar with that drive. Does the documentation, by any chance, indicate that it will only play PAL-format DVDs?
