I was just about to purchase a DVD from Germany when it occurred to me
that they don't use region one.

I was wondering if I could play this on my system using Kaffeine or
MPlayer. I have Kaffeine already setup to play region one DVDs, but I
wasn't sure about the others.

Oh, in fact, also aren't European DVD's encoded with PAL? I wonder if
the laptop is PAL or NTSC or if it matters.
It will not be a problem. I can play whatever I throw in the drive.
PAL and NTSC does matters only for the TV. And even then, you can set
your TV-out for the right format.


I have region 1 and region 2 DVD's and they play great using Zine or Kaffine with SuSE 9.3
