OT: a great resource for DVD hacks (so you can play PAL/NTSC/be region 0)

OT: a great resource for DVD hacks (so you can play PAL/NTSC/be region 0)

2011-07-03 by sdavmor

The Telstar: Joe Meek story thread made me think of this.  While 
people are contemplating passing this PAL DVD around they might want 
to "unlock" their DVD players. All but one of the NTSC units in my 
house have been made PAL/NTSC/region 0 using hacks from this site. 
Makes it great when I buy a sports or music DVD from outside the USA, 
or as in this case a friend is loaning a non-NTSC, non-region 1 DVD.

I have Telstar in digital NTSC format. If anyone on this list is interested in watching it please contact me directly as

I don’t want it made publically available.

Thanks
