welcome to the "Zoning" issues with overseas bought DVDs... or it might be a PAL v NTSC compatability issue with your hardware. Most home theatre equipment sold in the US will not allow for different image formats, whereas most equipment sold outside of the US is multiformat... at least you get the stuff way cheaper than we do...
Just rip the disk onto your HD on your pc. Then you can watch it. Or get a modchip for your PS2/XBOX....if ya got one.
I had the same problem until I switch my dvd player to play all region format and it worked fine. The quality is surprisingly good for a sappose boot leg dvd.
