Hi Nigel,

Isn't it nice that the record companies and movie studios would like to control in which country you enjoy their material... Have you looked for a hack to make your DVD player region free? Almost all DVD players have these back doors built into them, allowing informed customers to unlock them after purchase. If you are unsure what I am talking about just tell me the make and exact model number of your player.

Mark,

I have a few DVD players but the one I use most is a Philips DVP 320.

If you can get any info. about making it non-region-specific I'd be very interested & grateful.

Nigel

I did a google search for region free philips dvp 320, and this was the first hit:

Scroll down through the comments and you'll find someone talking about the region free hack.

Mark

nice one!

won't be able to try it for 10 days or so because I'm heading home (Brussels) later today and am in Germany all next week, but I'll give it a go the 1st chance I get

hope I can return the favour some time...

Mark,

a bit later than intended...

I finally watched the Blues Brothers all through last night - all the more satisfying to know I'd beaten the "Big Media Corporations"

so thanks again and as I said before - very much hope I can return the favour sometime (computer/database bits; also untrendy 70's/80's rock music, English football (esp. Stockport County) and liberal amounts of northen sarcasm, particularly when I'm drunk)
