  • There is a way to remove the region code if you have the right software and a DVD Burner in your computer.



    I WISH I had a computer of my own. ;-)) For the past 9 years I kept on telling myself that this was the year that I was buying a computer. Somehow I still have managed not to buy one yet.

  • Depending on how you feel Carl, you can try seeing if your model is on this list and then "hacking" your current DVD player to make it a multi-region player. But, I would be careful because you can also make your dvd player a vegetable if you do somethign wrong, so proceed at your own risk.

    I think that if you buy a player in the US it will only play region 1 DVD's. I have never come across a multi-region DVD player in the US in all my travels and shopping in electronic's stores.

  • The DVD players themselves are single region or you can change the region only 4 times. But to do it so you don't have to mess with your player you have specific software that removes the region code and if necessary shrinks it to re-fit back on a DVD5. The whole process takes less than 60 min.

  • Hi DakotaSurfer, I think Ringo is talking about a DVD player for his TV, not his computer.


    You must be using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter, great tools.

  • I have found as well the DVD Fab Decrypter is a great tool that is free and I have no problems making DVD's with that. They also come out with free updates occasionally.

  • Thanks for all the info Todd, Dakota. Im illiterate when it comes to electronic technology, that i'd better leave any changing of anything to some computer wiz -- or like mentioned by Todd; i'd probably ruin my dvd player. Knowing me, I would ruin it.

  • I do a lot of what we call DVD ripping for p2p sites and have some pretty nice software that makes them come out looking great.

  • It's not a Dutch release, but a Dutch seller. It's the Italian release RoughRider pointed out in post nt. 6. There is also a link to his site in his signature which has al lot of info on DVD releases.


    Anyway the DVD on ebay looks like the official Italian release. I bought it a while back, but I don't know if it is available now.

  • I've got it but it was a TV release. There were two on last weekend that I missed that I don't have. Lawless Nineties and Lonely Trail. In two weeks AMC is showing The New Frontier (1935).

  • Sorry Popol


    Yes, it is Italian. What is print and sound qulaity like?

    I have no complaints, allthough I am often satisfied and then see people writing reveiws on Amazon who completely slaughter the same releases . Since it is an official RKO release I think it probably won't get much better than this. I'm certain you won't feel ripped off if you decide to buy it.
