They don't have regional coding, so why wouldn't they be playable in the States? Or can't US players handle PAL? Dvd players in Europe play both PAL and NTSC.

Their official shop is here.

Sexshop4All carries the title, don't know whether they ship to the US or not.

Or you may want to try Orgazmik.com

All the GGG titles are regio free, but in PAL format. If you can play PAL, we do ship to the US and Betty Extrem is here

I looked it up on line and my player only plays NTSC and can not play PAL. Does anyone know if this title is available on NTSC since I have purchased other GGG titles that have been.

Kickass released some GGG titles for the US, but I don't know whether they have this title.

I find it strange that US players apparently lack PAL playback capability. An alternative would be to order a PAL version from Europe and play it on your computer using PowerDVD or some such application.

Or, if you want to play it on a standalone dvd player, there are several video editing programs which are capable of converting PAL to NTSC and vice versa, a relatively inexpensive one is MAGIX Movie Edit Pro (MAGIX Video Deluxe in Europe), it can read dvd .vob files directly and can encode to mpeg2 and compile to dvd.

The orginal European GGG/666/JT movies don't have any kind of coding or copy protection so it is relatively easy to do;

You can do the same using an array of freeware programs but that will be more complicated. Look at these resources.

Considering the price of dvd-players today the easiest would be to get a PAL-dvdplayer. I'm sure convertion will make the already too compressed GGG-videos look like shit.

Of course that's easier, and recoding always means some quality loss, although the result can still look decent relative to the source if you use the right settings.

I was assuming that - considering the fact that every dvd player I've ever seen on the European market can handle both formats and this US player can't, plus I've read that a video capture/edit suite like Pinnacle has a US version that can only do NTSC - it was probably either a legal or a strategic issue to do with US dvd players.

I had the reverse problem in the VHS era when Anabolic and lots of other leading US labels were only available as US imports using NTSC. True multisystem VHS machines have always been expensive, but some (and later, most) Euro VHS players at least had NTSC playback capability. DVD players have solved that, since the only obstacle for playing US dvds would be regional coding, which most porn dvds don't have. I would have thought the same applied vice versa.
