    Dear fellow Cows, Could someone tell me if it is possible to play a DVD that has a european region code on a US player?
    Sincerely, Karl

    Not unless the DVD player is region free- most aren’t. But you could most likely play it on a computer that allows its region to be changed. Some only let you change a few times so be cautious.

    Hey Noah, thanks for taking the time to respond. I thought the answer was as you stated. I hope the region thing goes away soon.
    Sincerely, Karl

    Not likely- it’s built into the DVD spec and part of copyright control.

    some players have hacks that can make them region free check out http://www.videohelp.com and look up your player…maybe you’ll get lucky.
