Okay, now all I need to know is where can I buy the dvd's? Who sells them? Where can I buy the UK RID set that I've heard so much about?

Of course, that might depend on the DVD player that came with your system, but I was able to get mine on my Dell laptop to become region free fairly easy.

The best solution is downloading "VLC Media Player" and it will play any region on your computer...

I disagree. The best solution is just to make your player region free, which mine is, then you can use Windows Media Player or whatever other program you normally use to watch DVDs on your computer.

Gees Im sick and tired of reading that Yanks don't like the idea of importing dvds and the whole multi region players thing as a forgien concept. The rest of us have done it for yonks and don't bitch. You can't have everything you want.

Anything special that needs to be done to said DVD-R?

I think what Ryan is talking about is that his DVD player can play DIVX straight from a CD or DVD, so you don't need Nero to convert and burn into a DVD format... I use Nero to convert to a DVD format my Transformer's Victory and plays fine on the PS2 or my HDMI Phillips DVD player...

Yes, that's what I'm saving. I burn the media files to a DVD-R, just like you would if you were making a backup of files on your computer. I pop the disk into my DVD player and it will play the files on the DVD. I don't have to do anything special at all with the files and they don't have to be DIVX format either.

I don't see that anywhere in this thread.

COBY makes a region free dvd player that is sold at CVS for 30$ and it plays VCDS which was a first for me cause i could never find a player that would play my VCDS lol.. And aren't all dvd players in computers region free as well ?
