    Why did you buy a region locked player, if you need a region free? Far from all DVD players can be made region free. But then: It's just a matter of backing up your wrong region disk to DVD-R to make the disk region free. A region free disk plays in all players regardless of if the player is region locked or not.

    I just chose the cheapest DVD player that supported Divx in the shop, so that I can now just write the file to a CD and play. Not have to make DVD or VCD. I thought that there were region free codes for all DVD players? I have a few region 1 DVDs but like you rightly said I could just back them up on my PC and remove the region code.

    If anyone does know of a code I would still like to have it

    thanks

    Far from. And they seem to get fewer and fewer by the day.

    And removing the region code from the disc may not make the disc playable. The player may also need to be able to convert NTSC video format to PAL (or vise versa) depending on the video format where you live.

    Germany=PAL, and a vast majority of PAL TV/DVD players do NTSC video fine, so that shouldn't be a problem (even if there's always a risk).
