adult DVDs

Does anyone know if American (no regional setting) DVDs will play OK on British DVD players/televisions? I know that they play OK on computer DVD Roms.

American DvD's with no regional settings will still be an NTSC signal, you will need a DvD player which can playback NTSC and a television which can handle the same NTSC signal. 9 out of 10 new t.v's will be able to handle NTSC and I dare say if you have a DvD player you probably will have a newer t.v, so you shouldn't have any trouble.
If you were using a playstation 2 however you would get a poor b/w picture because sony's little box of tricks is not capable of output NTSC.

Well, I can report that they all play OK on my multiregion machines and since they are not regionaly coded I would imagine it would be OK.

They play fine. So long as you are connected to your telly by scart you will have no problems. Region 0 means play anywhere - why would the porn industry want to reduce their sales by region coding a disc. It ain't Hollywood!

Some of these discs do not play 100%. Oral consumption #1 has a second side with trailers, it plays sometimes and sometimes not. Maybe my DVD is not the best (proline 1000)

Beware of Vivid (yank of course) DVDs as their early discs were prone to switching errors between chapters. Got a stupendous film of theirs, Ancient Secrets of the Kama Sutra, but it gets stuck between chapters sometimes.

A problem also common with paper-based media (or so I've heard..)
