Here's how you tweak it to play all regions: 1. With no disc in the tray, push "Menu" "1" "9" (ignoring the "No" symbol that appears on the upper left-hand corner of the screen). (Credit to "Art from Minneapolis, MN" for the heads-up on how to do make it an all region + PAL/NTSC player...he reviewed it at Amazon). Funny thing is, I tend to use this DVD player all the time now instead of my high-end Sony player because the thing plays anything I throw into it. Never had a problem with it. Should have bought 3 of them at the time because now I only see "open" models of them in the stores. [Link] |

| kukm4 Member so-cal 212 Posts 9/04 | Posted - Jul 17 2006 : 1:40PM Either mpg or avi/divx (if your dvd player supports divx playback) I've had mixed results re-encoding WMV. The only prob. i have run into re-encoding a few files is the audio looses sync with the video. [Link] |

| johnshaft820 Member 271 Posts 1/05 | Posted - Jul 17 2006 : 2:11PM I've never had any audio/video sync problems, and there's no loss of quality if you configure the codec correctly. (You'll want to install an MPEG-4 codec such as DivX to do the .avi encoding. Edited by - johnshaft820 on 7/17/2006 2:19:53 PM Edited by - johnshaft820 on 7/17/2006 2:28:56 PM [Link] |
| kukm4 Member so-cal 212 Posts 9/04 | Posted - Jul 17 2006 : 2:21PM 1st to re-encode the file to MP4. loss in quality is almost none. from there I rename it to MPG then use automated encoder called Memcoder(I have no idea on the specs of 1pass/2pass encoding, so this is great) It has the all settings already written in a BAT file,depending on file you want (my case xvid). place the file in either 43 (4:3) or 169 (16:9 ratio) Folder then press the Go.bat and wait for the file to be done. Here is a guide using free softwre you will need to do a few steps. http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/wmv9_to_avi.html [Link] |

| ShiWarrior Senior Member 1170 Posts 8/01 | Posted - Jul 19 2006 : 10:39AM MOST porn is on Region 0 , What this means, is that ANY DVD player can play region FREE titles. Commercial DVDs for instance Independance day or Superman, or even some TV stuff like Sinpsons, these are LOCKED to a regeion, for instance Region 1 is USA and regeion 2 is UK To play other formats, you will need TWO things... 1) a TV that supports both PAL and NTSC playback (UK/NTSCrespectiivly) 2) a Region FREE DVD Player Most DVD players can be chipped with is perfectly LEGAL some you can use the remote to disable the lock-out Hope that helps - - Some one is watching over you Edited by - shiwarrior on 7/19/2006 10:39:45 AM Edited by - shiwarrior on 7/19/2006 10:40:31 AM [Link] |
