Region-free DVD drive

[scottprive at earthlink.net (Scott Prive)]

In addition to the suggestions mentioned, there's another method some folks
use.

If you own the off-region CD in question, you can rip it to the hard drive
which removes the region coding. Then burn it back to DVD-R and play it on
your set-top DVD player.

I can say this works great with Japanese region DVDs, which also happen to
be NTSC encoded.

(I suppose the same technique would work with PAL discs, but you would need
both a DVD player and TV to understand the encoding...)

If the movie is too big for DVD-R, there are MPEG transcoding tools for
Linux...
