Hotel California documentary BBC4 tomorrow

[Z]

GEF's disc arrived today and the quality is exceptional. Thanks, GEF!

In its' current format, it will not play on standard US DVD players, but it does play on the PC. Hubby has offered to try something that may get it to play in the DVD player. If you will all give him a day or two, I'll let you know when it is available and in what format.

Thanks for going to such trouble, GEF and Z.

Thanks GEF and Z! It sounds like it's a great documentary!

Glad it arrived, Z. I forgot about the region 1 and 2 business, but pleased that it plays in the pc. Good luck to your other half!

The region one and two thing can be a pain...even with CD's. Thanks GEF for recording this and Z ( and Mr. Z) for burning it. it is so great that we can all share this really feels like a community!

[EasyFeeling]

I assume I won't have any problems playing the DVD, right GEF?

[glenneaglesfan]

It should be ok in Europe, I hope, and a copy is on its way! (They have to be recorded real time, so I had to wait until my Thursday off to get it done)

Okay, here's the scoop. Hubby's first attempts were unsuccessful, but he did consult with an extremely software savvy nephew at today's family gathering. So he is now in search of a recommended software which he is told will remove the regional coding.

I don't want to hold anyone up from seeing this special. If you would like a copy in its' present format (viewable on the PC only), please PM me. Otherwise, I will keep you posted on his efforts. He anticipates results by next weekend.

[sodascouts]

Good to hear he's making progress - I'll go ahead and wait to see what happens! If this works, PM me with the software. If it's not too expensive, I might look into getting some for the Region 2 DVDs I own.

Hubby has been unsuccessful at recoding the DVD so it can only be viewed on the PC. If you are interested in having a copy, please PM me.

Sorry for the delay. I had really hoped he could get it worked out.
