Not until recently did I have a problem viewing a so-called region free dvd disc. It is a current release within the last year but comes from Britain. My library bought it at my request and the fact that it showed all regions.
When I checked it out for myself, my older Sony DVDP NS5765P displayed it's 'incorrect region' error.
I was able to use by DVD recorder in the computer to play it using the Power DVD program software.
I have looked at several threads and soiurces here on videohelp and elsewhere on what the currext state of region-free players is. I have not been in the market for some years and I have scant ability to do things like change the firmware on equipment or get special programmable remotes.
The most recent thread I saw on this was from six months ago.
If I went into a store like Best Buy today or when new things arrive for the fall in a couple months,
what would last (technology- wise) for region free and blu ray play of commercial dvd's for the future.
?
My library is starting to get a bit of bluray stock. But for cost is it too early to be concerned with bluray content yet? Also is my older Sony Trinitron in danger of becoming a victim of media changes?
