Many older off-brand DVD players can handle PAL format discs.  Apex is
one brand that got notoriety for ease of disabling regions and
Macrovision.

If the disc is region 0, your computer DVD drive can likely play it
fine.  If it's region 2, then you can still probably play it, but it
will use a couple of your limited "region swaps" unless you use a tool
like DVDShrink to rip it to your drive and remove region codes and
copy protection.
