Rep Power: 0 ![]() | http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/PROD/3-/...n/Product.html This year, Clarkson has gone way out west to the United States of America to find out if there really is a decent American car! Watch the wagons roll as Clarkson has a show-down between some of the top American cars with some of the top UK and European cars! There's more action and explosions than ever before - but this time from the dirt-tracks and mountains of California! |

| Dispenses buckshot medication for all undead patients. | Sweet! Although I hope he can get into the American attitude of motoring and leave his European prejudices at home. I know we have been plauged with poor build quality in this country, but we also have a different motoring history and heritage which results in different kinds of cars. Is anyone going to offer this one? I don't have a multi-region DVD player. Bloody greedy media companies carving up the world market!

In this thread there is a link to some S2000 board where a kid got a photo with JC. The kid said he saw a bunch of guys with cameras filming somthing and when he asked them, they said "A DVD"

| Dispenses buckshot medication for all undead patients. | Yeah, I have a Sony, that's the problem. It was a gift though, so I can't really complain. I can always put it on my computer and re-encode it region-free, but if I buy a DVD I should be able to play it out of the box without re-encoding and compressing it. There is always the risk that a particular DVD does not agree with my system and won't process it. I had this problem when I wanted to buy the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" DVD, it was only out in the UK; I had to wait 6 months or so before it came out with the remake as a box set in the US.

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Not only do you want a multi region dvd player, but you need to get one that can do PAL conversion because most UK dvd's are in PAL. A PAL dvd will not work on a NTSC dvd player no matter what region the disc or player is, so the PAL-NTSC conversion is a must. these players can be bought prety cheaply. Although some of the cheap ones might not have that great image quality. This is a very good one for the price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&s=audio-video |

Plan C go digital by passing the analogue signal processing and straight into the HD input from a HD capable DVD - Robert will be you father's brother! Might cost a bit though. ![]() | |

Well even a multi format TV won't do any good if the DVD player cannot play or convert PAL discs | |
