RE: True, but technical correction aside, that doesn't alleviate her problem viewing films from other regions.

I realize she's asking about a hi-def player (be it Blu-ray or HD DVD) that is capable of playing non-region-1 SD DVDs. Doesn't look like there's such an animal yet, even one that might be hackable. I was just pointing out that, as far as hi-def discs go, there's no NTSC or PAL (or SECAM, for that matter) to worry about--it's just the region coding that might prevent her from playing non-US hi-def discs. With the NTSC/PAL thing out of the way, I've noticed that a fair number of US BDs (the new 'Cars', for example) are region-free (indicated by 'Region ABC') on the back of the cover. This is quite a departure from the practice with SD DVD releases. I'm just wondering if she's absolutely sure that the 'In My Father's Den' BD that's coming out is a region B disc...
