I am a recently converted Mac user and love my MacBook but am still quite new to it so bear with me.
I am going to the US in April and wanted to take my MacBook with me to watch DVD's.
Firstly I need to know if I can simply plug my MacBook in the plug socket with a travel adapter or will I need a transformer to adjust the power from 110v to 240v?
Secondly, I am converting DVD's to .mkv so I can just take a portable hard drive rather than loads of DVDs. Would I be able to hook up my MacBook to a NTSC TV? I know there are problems playing PAL DVD's on a region free DVD player as NTSC can't display PAL DVD's even if the player can play them. Would I have the same problem if I am playing a PAL DVD via my MacBook (probably I think). Could I get round this problem by playing .mkv's via the NTSC tv.
The NTSC has a HDMI and component connectors but not S-Video.
Thanks
Emma
