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. you can change the region on a player a number of times, I forget...3??5??
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.
I can play PAL & NTSC on my computer and my NEW dvd player hooked up to my stereo. My OLD player would play PAL in black & white only..

I've had that but the other way round. I did have the equipment to transfer a NTSC tape over to UK PAL system though :-) The difference is the fact that NTSC has 425 scanning lines whereas PAL uses 625 (I think I have those figures correct but they are from memory) The new HD format will be universal :-) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
