Does anyone know if there is a difference between USA DVD players and Euro
DVD players? I have a copy of the Red Bull LMS on DVD that I'd like to send
to a friend in Italy but I don't know if he can view it or not. I tried
sending him a VHS tape once and found out later that his VCR couldn't play
it. I'd like to try a DVD this time if it'll work.


It all has to do with the region code of the dvd and the zoning of the dvd player.

Just about all DVD players you get down here in NZ are multi zone and most of my DVD's are Zone 1 (USA). Just ask your mate in Italy if he has a mutlizone DVD player or if he can play Zone 1 dvd's
