The version of NTSC is different in Japan and the North America.  One uses a
carrier frequency of 3.58MNz, and the other uses 4.43MHz, or something like
that.  If you are interested I'm sure a smart guy like you could google it
and get the exact info.  Of course none of that should matter if the
playback is on a PC to the PC monitor.  What player software is she using,
what dvd rom drive is she using, what OS?
