Woops, Yes, Your right George, Sorry, thanks for the chance of teaching Lawrence something new, he's only 16 and studying computer science. Thanks, Christine W.----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 11:43 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: American DVDs Er, sorry to contradict Lawrence, but the USA is region 1, while we are Region 2. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code for full details. You might however consider a DVD unlocker, which also works with a PC. http://www.dvdunlocker.com/movies/?pu=3Dfalse George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Christine Weetman Sent: 11 April 2007 11:20 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: American DVDs Lawrence says USA are Region 2 as we are, so there must be a different reason why the DVD won't play, maybe its a Bad copy? Have you tried playing it on the computer as well as the D VD player? Are you sure its in DVD format and not DVIX or something?

Don't know a solution, but I hope that helps anyway.
