VLC will not have an issue playing 720x480 video contained on Region 1 DVDs.

The issue is not with VLC.  The DVD drive in your computer will be set for
your region, 2, and will not play region 1.  You will have to "fix" it so
that you can play all regions.

It is what I have to do with region 2 DVDs.

Keep in mind, the region coding issue only applies to those DVDs that are
coded for only region 1.  For those that are coded for all 6 consumer regions
will play just fine on your system.
