Thanks Barry. PM in return.

Jordan,
could you check if there is any mention of a region code on the DVD set you have? I was discussing this with Barry and have also asked War Amps....are the DVD's region coded? Canada is region 1, Europe is region 2.....meaning that I can't watch the DVD's if they are region1 coded.

[Jordan Baker]

Sure, Ill check tonight and get back to you.

[Bob Carriere]

.....but in Toronto, in China town, there are a number of photoshop stores that offer conversion from whatever format to Canadian code...cost?????

similar service must exist in Europe's larger cities.

[Grant Bowker]

Yes Bob, they do exist in Ottawa - one is Gladstone St at Bay St. NW corner. There must be others too, in other parts of the city as well.

[Jordan Baker]

I checked and there is no mention of any region code on the box or the DVD’s

[Alex van de Wetering]

Thanks Jordan. That means there is at least a chance that they are region free!

Bob, Grant, a friend can probably do the region code transfer for me, but I know for a fact that everyone is asking him for a favor to transfer their VHS tapes to DVD etc., so I rather not bother him with the transfer unless absolutely necessary.
I also remember from years ago that some of the very cheap DVD players were region code free so all DVD's could be played.
