| Videos / DVDs |
Due South Episodes - North America
North American videotape standard is NTSC and DVD coding is Region 1. Tapes/DVDs purchased in North America may not work in devices purchased outside of North America. Your best bet to find this merchandise are online Canadian retailers such as: Amazon Canada, Videoflicks.com, Badlands Books, or The Due South Offical Trading Post. Australians can also order these DVDs from Singing Wolf, but remember, they may not be compatible with your region.
For other options in obtaining the episodes, please see our Popular Questions page.
Fans have reported lots of problems with the two North American DVD sets. Most agree that the Canadian version is better video and sound quality wise, but this version suffers from a poor packaging design which can cause the DVDs to slip off their spindles and rattle around in the case which damages them and the other discs in the case. The U.S. release is by far the cheaper option, but fans have reported that video tends to pixelate during action sequences and that the sound is not of the same quality as the Canadian version.
