Ed Wood alternatives - stating the obvious

Hi All,

Just to really state the obvious, if anyone really wants Ed Wood, and has
either a DVD-ROM, or PAL capabilities, order the R2 Euro release. Its going to
be the same except they have no deleted scenes on ours, and should put you on
until Buena Vista sort out whatever the problem is.

Check out http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk for the cheapest prices.

Obvious yes, but as a temp measure it beats $80 on ebay. Hope you all get lucky
with local retailers tomorrow, but if not try the alternative.

Thanks, Mike. I did just that, yesterday, at the Amazon.com UK site. The
order comes to roughly $28.00 including shipping, with an expected delivery
date of around February 8th. This will only be viewable on my computer, but
I'd rather do that than pay the prices that the R1 copies are getting on
Ebay.

Hmm. Are you saying DVD-ROMs are all multi-region? I did not know that.

They're not all multi-region, but a computer can display PAL or NTSC video
with the right software. Regional codes in a typical DVD ROM drive can be
changed 5 times during the life of the product.

Or you can download DVD Region Free which allows you to change the
region as many times as you want on most PC software that plays dvds.

or what about the Korean version?
http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID....qx/details.htm

has a lot of extras, too. NTSC R3, which is nice if you have a Sony
7000 with switches.

Shoot, wish I had known before ordering from Amazon U.K. I probably could
have backed up the R3 version with DVD Shrink, removing the regional
encoding, so it would have been playable on my standalone Panasonic player,
which can only handle NTSC. I've bookmarked that site and plan to browse it
later. It looks as if they have a lot to choose from, with reasonable
shipping to the U.S..

yeah, but,... most DVD hardware that has been produced in the last few
years also has region coding which must be defeated.

--fortunately I have an old DVD drive that is not region coded.

There is software that gets around that too, like
www.remoteselector.com. Or, alternatively, you can use patched
firmware to remove the region code permanently, see www.rpc1.com. Then
use DVDGenie from www.inmatrix.com to defeat the code in Windows and
your DVD video playing software.
