Hey,Inu Yasha,same ntsc format.So you can play the dvds here at your dvd player.
Indeed. I already knew that, actually.
The only thing that depends if the discs from Japan plays on my DVD players here is region code. R2 discs will not play on 99.9% of R1 US/CAN DVD players (there have been some known cases of players being able to play other discs due to manufacturing errors/mistakes!).
NTSC is a non-issue with Americans. PAL is on the other hand for Americans importing non-NTSC discs. (For example, I want to get the German version of Pokemon movie 5, since it's in widescreen -the US version is full screen, unfortunately-, and Germany uses the PAL system, so I could only watch it on my PC, since NTSC/PAL issues are a non-issue with computers capable of playing DVD's/VCD's/SVCD's)
I can rip them on my PC if they are R2 or any other region, as I explained to you in one of my past e-mails. It's really no big deal. I can just re-format them and burn them to new DVD-R discs if I want to (I've done it once, with my Asuca Hayashi "Chiisaki Mono" DVD-Single)
But yeah, to restate what I said, NTSC is a non-issue with DVD's for us Canadians and Americans. It's just convenient that Japan also uses NTSC, since most of the world's English speaking anime collectors come from North America, where NTSC is the main de facto standard.

I'm so disappointed now.
I went onto CDJapan's website to see if the widescreen version of Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer DVD was still available....it's not! :*(
Sorry, but I just needed an outlet for my frustration, and I think it's best done here.
It's not directed towards anybody, btw. I just wanted to express my feelings.
