Note: All DVDs sold by 鶹.ca follow the NTSC format and contain North American country
code information (Region 1). These discs will play on DVD machines intended for use
in North America. DVD players outside of North America might not be able to view these
titles because of incompatible country codes or video standards. If you're interested
in purchasing Region 2 DVDs, consider visiting one of our international sites other
than 鶹.ca. You can find additional title-specific information by selecting the
"technical information" link in the navigation bar on the left side of any title's
product information page. Information typically found there includes studio, running
time, reason for rating, theatrical release date, DVD release date, sound particulars,
aspect ratio and discographical information.
