It would have been useful to know what region you are in!
DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

Once you have set he region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:
the disk is region 2 my laptop is set to region 2 but i need to know if i can use NTSC im in Region 2 UK
im in region 2 UK disk is region two but NTSC formatted
Then that shouldn't be a problem, but I am puzzled as to why any NTSC disk is region 2 where only PAL is used.
And I don't understand your reference to 'formatted'. DVDs are not formatted, they are a recording media that can accept anything digital.
What kind of DVD is this?
American Dad! Volume 8 [DVD] [NTSC] sold on amazon UK but region 2
fox too lazy to make it pal i guess
I am equally surprised that they would release a version for region 2.
Use VLC for playback, not the Macs's DVD Player and you should be fine.
