 Question About Their DVDs
I'm thinking of getting the "We Have A Theme Song" DVD, but I need to know: will it work on my DVD player, or computer with a DVD-R drive?

Unless it's region-free. Here in the US it's region 1. I don't know anything about region hacking and the sort.
Take it down the stairs boys and girls...

[quote="Josher"]region hacking[/quote]
Certain DVD player models have hacks you can find online that are activatable by just the remote: Basically just pressing a sequence of buttons to make your DVD player switch regions or region-free. It's easy and the codes take virtually no effort to find -- you just have to own the right type of player.

you could just look up region hacks on google or any pirating site. usually they have the cracks or hacks you need.

1. hack.
2. you can watch it on your computer by switching the region code. but it'll only allow you to change it 5 times or so. then it'll stay on the region that you put last.
3. you can buy a region-free dvd player. I got one for 30 bucks. most are around $80-200 though.
4. you can hook your computer/laptop to your tv by an s-video cable (still has the limited region changes)
or this is what i did for a while: 5. you can rip the dvd and save it as an AVI or MPEG file and watch it whenever you want without the limited region changes. (it just takes a while and a bit of harddrive space..)

If you have a Liteon drive, then I know for a fact there's a handy-dandy utility that'll let you manipulate region settings.

Two thing I wanna ask.
1. How do you shange the region code on your computer?
2. I'm looking at the The JP Amazon Site and it says the DVD's NTSC. What does that mean?

It's really the region code that you have to worry about.

So, basicly, it'd be okay if I bought it?

I own the Dead Stock Paradise DvD, so Ill tell you the deal I had.
It wont run on your regular DvD players. The way I did it was that my friend's laptop was set too japan's region and hooked it up too my entertainment system.
Good luck but dont buy it till you know you have a means too watch it.
Region Codes suck

You can always just rip the DVD, then burn it with region 0. All you need for this is a DVD burner and good DVD burning software.
OR you can buy a region free DVD player. http://froogle.google.com/froogle?sourc ... a=N&tab=wf
OR if you have a modded Xbox, you can watch any DVD on that.
