Hi,
I just joined this group but I thought I could add something to this last e-mail. If you are looking for a multi-region DVD player, Amazon.com offers a really great player at a reasonable price. I purchased this model about 5 months ago and it is probably the finest DVD player I have ever used. I can't recommend it highly enough. Check it out here.

Best wishes,
-Ian

I'll assume these are UFO DVDs, to make this on-topic. :-)

Region 2 DVDs from the UK differ from Region 1 DVDs in the USA in
two ways -- first, there is the region code, and second is the
difference in the video standard (PAL video in the UK, NTSC video
in the USA). The video standard difference is the bigger problem
when it comes to converting. In theory, I'm sure you could
transfer the contents of a region 2 UK DVD to a computer, convert
the PAL video to NTSC, then create a new DVD with the region
code set to 1 (or off), but it would be a non-trivial project.

There may be some software out there that semi-automates such a task,
but it would have to be shareware or freeware, as commercial
software wouldn't allow such activity (even backups for personal use).


I have many region 2 DVDs, and I simply just bought a DVD player
that could play them in the USA. Then, I don't have to do
anything to the original DVD.
