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.
Hey, thanks for the information. A buddy of mine in Germany is sending me a home-brew DVD transfer from some videos we shot back in college. (Not not THOSE kind of videos...) I'll let y'all know how they play. -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything.
