Afternoon people,
Does anyone know if Colombian DVDs work on UK computers? (I presume consoles are locked). I want to buy a load of Colombian films but don´t want to waste the money!
As an aside, I was quoted COP$6m for a 10 day trip to Mompos and then back to San Augustin and Tierradentro and then finally into Medellin. Ouch...

capitan_centella says on Oct 4, 2007, 13:13: yeap they do work on UK COMPUTERS. The region thing (region 4 in colombia, and PAL over NTSC) only aplies to dvd´s players and tvs. You only have to download a plugg in and i´ll do the trick, with any dvd you have. But keep on minf that ONLY WILL WORK ON PCS¡, becouse colombia is NTSC. Even if you buy a compatible dvd player NTSC ALL REGION FREE, you need a tv set that IS NTSC. Otherwise you can "hear" but you can not "see" the dvd. (Check ebay and buy it on the states. They´ll ship you to your home in the uk) "When you open your eyes, you turn around with the world, But it can change, if you only close it, and see a dream to yourself." Me. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

bufalo says on Oct 4, 2007, 20:24: convertxtodvd is a good one. but you can also change the region on almost any DVD player. I did it to mine, it is a bit odd how it is done. Remember when you used to find the codes in the video games, like push "up" "up", "down" "down" etc. to get multiple lives, or weapons or whatever, the dvd's have that too. Just google your player and it will show you how. We bought our player in Spain and it now accepts any DVD made.
