This has been my experience too.  Virtually any dvd I've made with NTSC 
are playable in the UK.  And no one I've found is able to play a PAL 
dvd in the States.  I make all my dvd's in NTSC for family members in 
London, Poland and California.  All play without problem.  If I make 
them in PAL both my Polish son and Californian daughter have trouble.
