What would be an easier option? Are their cheap DVD players that play PAL discs?

What about a DVD player that you can do a hack on? I now have an RCA RCR110D. If there is a cheap DVD player out their that can be hacked and play PAL discs please let me know.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You may want to ask this in the hardware area.

Thanks,

I asked this over there.

Get a Cyberhome-500 for about $75. It's nice because there's a region menu that can be pulled from the remote (no chance of messing up a firmware upgrade) and it's much cheaper than a real multi-region dvd player. It also does PAL and anamorphic widescreen conversion at the same time ulike most of the other cheap, hackable dvd players.

Does it support recorded media (VCD's)?

I have a VCD of the Buffy musical and it works in my player. I don't have any DVD-R's though, so it may or may not work for those.

Tested mine with +R, +RW and -R formats - all seem to work fine.

Thanks for the info about the Cyberhome 500.

Can it be found in any retail stores, or just from that website? And can anyone vouch for Newegg? I've never heard of them before.

I've been wanting to go multi region for a while, and that looks like an easy one to work with.
