Just a quick question....

I'm hoping to send a DVD to a friend in Greece. Does anyone know whether a UK bought DVD will play in Greece? There is no region specified on the cover.

Any help appreciated.

Tell him to get a copy of DVD fab decrypter. He can rip a film only copy and not have to watch all their self serving adverts and trailers before the menu :PDT_Xtremez_14:

That's not advocating piracy, I just don't see why if I have bought the disk I have to watch a school lesson about stealing videos, it grips my s**t.

Disney are the worst, you have to watch trailers before the menu.
