Need to check PAL DVD for a dead line.

[Eva Marie]

I have a friend who needs to send her thesis to London and has to send it on  Friday.

Her FB quote: - I need to make sure some PAL DVDs work but having little luck locating a service or equipment to use for an hour or so in the next couple of days. I thought this group would have excellent suggestions.

 

Thanks

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.

Software exists that can easily read any dvd format from any region. Wow didn't realize people still had such problems! Try to download from thepiratebay.se or let me know if you need more help.

Instead of pirating some DVD software you could use the open source VLC Player which will read discs regardless of region as long as the DVD drive in your computer will do so (which most should).
