In Reply to: Re: What is best DVD player (I will only use 2 channel) for around $500-1000 new or used? posted by monk on October 29, 2005 at 03:18:43:
Is the "all region" hack that which is posted at www.videohelp.com, or do you have something else in mind?Since I will someday have to buy region 2 "Heimat" (and live in North America), this would be useful info for me. Thanks.

Follow Ups:
"Heimat" is available as a region-free NTSC release. I have it.
Thanks for the info . . . where did you buy it from?How does the video compare to the region 2 version? According to www.dvdbeaver, the region 1 is plain awful . . .

I bought it from Amazon.com.The NTSC version shows the typical effects of conversion from PAL to NTSC (some blurriness, stairstepping, that kind of stuff). I don't think it's awful; OTOH it's not fantastic either.
When it comes to European releases, in most cases the PAL version is better, IF you have a display AND a DVD player that are PAL-capable. If you're doing a conversion anywhere (i.e. PAL-to-NTSC disc, or a PAL-capable player converting to NTSC for an NTSC-only TV) you're not going to get the benefits of a straight-through PAL path anyway.
