Yep I send out DVD's globally.  Your problem may well be sending DVD's you 
make in Australia to the USA.  You will be making PAL encoded video and 
sending it to the USA where for some reason they aren't hip and up with 
technology like Australia and use only NTSC.

In Australia, most DVD players and most modern TV's automagically do 
PAL/NTSC (either version)/SECAM and a few others.
