sailing on it off Kilkieran. (10 mins. 59 secs.)

Technical Info
Computers:works on all computer DVD players.
DVD player + TV: if you watch DVDs on a DVD player attached to
your TV, then your player/TV will need to be able to play PAL
DVDs. If you only have an NTSC-ready player, or don't have a dual one,
then you won't be able to play it. But you can still buy one and play
it at a friend's house!
Region
encoding: there is no region encoding on this DVD, so you don't
have to worry about that. In other words, it plays as if it was encoded
for all regions. This is sometimes shown as 'Region 0'.

enquiries.
