Don't think so - but nearly all PAL DVD players can play back NTSC discs, and most newish TVs can handle the resulting signal (although sometimes it comes out black and while on some TVs). So if he stays in a NTSC workflow he'll probably be OK. I do this all the time with my old NTSC camcorder.

What DVD authoring software is he using, don't know why you say he can't burn a DVD.
