Wrong. The DVD players can read both formats, at least most of them can. It's either your TV that can't show it, or then you have a cheap DVD player that can't handle PAL - disks.

Anyway, usually the DVD players read anything, it's a question of having a multi-norm TV. Any computer should be able to play it just fine. If you want to convert it, you need to convert the whole DVD, and that's gonna take a lot of time and HD space.
