I have heard that there are DVD players available in the US that play both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs. Can anyone give me a brand name?

There's a multi-region DVD player in this house, not sure of the brand name... and it's 2am and I don't wanna wake people up shuffling around looking for it... I'll find out tomorrow what it is and let ya know.Jennifer12 said:I have heard that there are DVD players available in the US that play both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs.

Think of how much easier it would be...

Go NZ for defying imposed regional coding!"According to OpenDVD.org, DVD players with region codes are illegal in New Zealand. Additionally, DVD regions are rumored to violate certain World Trade Organization laws."
We just can't win."Recently, the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA) has developed a new system called Regional Coding Enhancement (RCE) which will be included on almost all new region 1 DVD releases. This new technology was created to prevent consumers with codefree DVD players from watching DVD discs purchased in North America. From now on, most region 1 DVD discs will be including this technology."

Not off-the-shelf as such. You would typically buy your player from a supplier who would make the necessary modifications before shipping it to you.NikZane said:I knew *someone* would get all technical on me after my post
I figured I was gonna be wrong with the scan rate thingy, I was looking for something similar to a dpi/ppi/lpi y-axis... yeh verticle resolution
So are there off-the-shelf players that will overcome RCE? (you're not just talking software players, are you?). Or does a region 0 player need further modifying?
Thanx for the info
