What player will convert PAL-->NTSC & play Region 2 discs in the USA? I don't want to spend too much money on this, but where can I find them?

Also, do I have to mod a DVD-ROM for my comp to play PAL discs?

Thx, Vinny

I don't think you have to mod your DVD Rom. The whole pal vs ntsc AFAIK is an issue with the televisions... your computer monitor will play a pal disc with no problem... your DVD Rom should be able to as well. It's a matter of getting your dvdrom's region changed - many can be tricked to be region free while others can't and others can only be tricked into being switchable infinite number of times. Email me for a link. If you wanna buy a mod chip for a DVD player - I'm selling mine cheap.
