The Simpsons Season 5 has RCE, But Im still winning

[Jumbo_Holden]

(I'm in the UK)

My simpsons season 5 dvd has arrived from playusa.com
it doesn't come out region 2 until march next year..

But I don't believe it. Its got RCE and I thought it was just Columbia tristar titles that had it, but it seems EVERY new R1 title has the technology .. But ha-ha it may now mean I can only play it on my 2nd dvd player (ive re-set to region 1) and not the 'region 0' player in the living room


But Im still winning. RCE will not beat me 8)

Hello,

Man that sucks! Having it block region free players???

Does it still work after ripping with dvdshrink or others??????

Glad at least one player does ok with it

yeah shrink will kill RCE, but it's a PITA to rip, transcode and burn a copy of a disc you bought - just to watch it!

Hello,

Hello,

Not too bad.... But it would be a pain to rip just to watch it

EDIT - It's just the opposite for the Phil Collins Farewell tour. It's ALREADY out in Europe but I have to wait till January to get it here....

I DON'T want to convert Pal to Ntsc

films are usually about 4-5 months after you lot. sometimes (like "man on the moon") they are never released on R2. TV series are also very different. we have never had a release of malcolm in the middle (you had series one about 3 years ago) but we had 6 series of friends out before you saw even one. I try to wait for R2 releases because of the better picture quality, but do buy R1s if an R2 is not on the horizon.

Hello,

At least you can do the ntsc-pal on the fly on nonrce discs. We can only play pal on pcs efficiently here. Other than that it's that darn PAL-NTSC conversion that can drive veterans of video nutso....

I can play PAL dvds fine on my dvd player.

Hello,

What type of player????

Though I only have one pal disc and not planing on buying more so a new player is a little ridiculous for one disc...

I have a Shinsonic 100A. It was like $70 three years ago. Very good player. Although every player I've had plays PAL discs.

Hello,

Man that stinks none of mine do. I have an old Sony s360 and a newer Toshiba model (can't remember the model number - but it plays mp3/jpg files).

Oh well... Like I said it's only one disc so no biggie. And the Phil Collins Dvd will be out shortly

It's weird, i'm not sure if it's arrogance or ignorance which makes the equipment designers over there ignore PAL.

And in any case, i don't convert, my DVD player outputs NTSC and my TV displays NTSC - no conversion jiggery pokery for me :P

The pictures are fine for me with NTSC, but like you said ive got titles that have no R2 release and never will.. theres a certain old US TV show Im mad about that im still waiting to hit DVD (ok Bewitched if you can't work it out)

Will it ever come out R2 ??? Dream on

Will it have RCE?? .. you bet your life

How tight and heartless
