I still like my option the best though, because it's the least legal of them all.

Ah, yes.  I bow to your insidiosity, sir!

Sorry, I have to go off topic for a second and complement Chaos on his kickass Avatar from one of the best shows on TV right now.  For anyone who hasn't seen Reaper, do yourself a favor and check it out on the CW on Tuesdays.

The devil made me do it. He is pleasing to the eyes, soothing of voice, and yet still unquestionably evil.

I couldn't POSSIBLY think of a better person to play the "Puck"-style devil than Ray Weise. He's sinisterly delicious.

I have the 4-dvd ball sphere but the content dvds are the wrong region for my dvd players.

*weeps*

Yay Phantasm Five!

Find a phillips DVDP5960 and enjoy region free goodness.

Or search google for "DVD Converter" and find the "X to DVD Converter" program, copy the entire contents of the DVD onto your computer, and feed those DVD files into the XConverter, which will output them in PAL or NTSC format as you define, then reburn to a new disc. That way your cost is roughly 26 cents instead of however much a region-free DVD player costs. It's also a great program for compiling videos from a digital camera onto a DVD to give to your non-computer-savvy relatives.

That sounds a bit impractically, especially since I seem to lack a proper dvd-burner, or at least the most simple of dvd-burning mechanisms are wholly beyond my comprehension.

Or, look up your DVD player model number in one of the many online databases of region-free codes such as this one and find out if your existing player can be made region free.  An awful lot of them can be forced to ignore the region code by simply keying a sequence of buttons in on the DVD remote.

That'll save you not only the cost of a region free player, but also the time and effort required to convert the DVDs.

Alas, I tried this method, but it appears the particular dvd player I own is one that does not possess the all-regions option.

Bugger. =/ I are sad.

What model are you using?  It might be a clone of another model with a known code.
