Samsung DVD-R135 code hack

[stasioau]

Hi, I am new and not sure that my post is in good place. Anyway, I have Samsung DVD-R135 made in China and I am in Canada. Does anybody can help me how to play DVD from Europe on this player?
Thanks

Canada is NTSC
Europe is PAL
A region code hack alone may not solve the PAL - NTSC problem.

Well I check Google yesterday and today. There is nothing new but only old one=<menu,29334,9,menu,menu> Numbers just change channels. Regards, stasioau

Funny how everyones wants a region free player after buying one that doensn't support region free.

Well, it could be, not all are as knowledgeable as you and me, and simply don't know or care about region codes until faced with a disk that refuses to play?
Anyho - The solution (if the player isn't hackable) is simply to back it up to DVD-R, as all(?) rippers remove the region code protection by default.

I know, I know, I should check DVD recorder before I buy, if can play my Europe disks. I have been told: of course you can play all DVD on this recorder.
Mats, please give little more explanation what you mean: “The solution (if the player isn't hackable) is simply to back it up to DVD-R, as all(?) rippers remove the region code protection by default”. Go back to store? Shop?
Anyway, thanks so much all of you.

I mean: Make a backup copy of your wrong region code disk. The backup will be region free, so should play if it's not also is using a TV system your player can't handle. (Many Region 2 disks are PAL, while Canada use NTSC, it seems - not many NTSC players handle PAL disks.)
