You will get a dialogue box appear if you stick in a DVD of the "wrong" region. It may well ask you if you want to change the region your DVD drive plays, and also tell you how many more times you can change the region code ( typically you can change region a total of 5 times ). There are, of course, a number of hacks to get around those number of changes limits, but being hacks you use them at your own risk...\n\nHey, multi-region DVD players cost around $30 ( so I hear ), go get one of those and wire it up to your TV..\n\n( And, well, I live in the UK, what DON'T you get released there? Sooner? And in a better version with more extras? )

She has to pay sales tax in the state where she purchased the item. If you didn't collect it from her than i fyou are audited you will pay it. they state where you live (california) collects taxes form the person or business who sold the item, It's up to you to collect it from her.&#92;\nIf that was true than all of my cars, clothes, tools,  ect would be brought form another state:)).\nEvery one in Georgia would shop in Florida and everyone in Florida would shop in Georgia.

I work for a company in the USA . The factory i work in is the last one in the USA. The others have gone to China and Mexico. They only have to pay them around .75 cents, an hour. They pay for shipping. It does take longer to get because of customs. It looks like I need to fine a new skill.Don't look at me i just live here.

Most of the rules are China based.\nTry reading the case of an American that was singled out for example punishment.\nOnce in China pirate copies are easily spotted but please do not buy them as they only strengthen the Mafia here.\nIf you want real DVDs search for the word Dakou to see what the big recording corporations dump over here.

It doesn't seem to be put pm DVD only CD.\nI've looked on HMV, Virginmegastores, Amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, Ebay.co.uk, Ebay.com, Ebay in Australia and also in France (very surprised they haven't got it lol). And there is nothing showing under dvd only CD\nSorry this was of much use but I did try. \n\nThe only other altertive is to enquire at your local DVD store, I know for a fact that at MVC you can ask for the title of it and they will look for it for you. They can get imports for you, they will also tell you how much it will cost before you buy it too. Thats the only other info that I can give that I know of.

Where did you buy this PC? Can you tell if the CD you have is in English? If so then loading it over the other copy would be the easiest thing to do but I would certainly make the seller do this if your in an English speaking country and then I would make them go to MS's Validation check site with me watching and prove the copy is legit.

US Customs may arrest you, and may prosecute you. Copyright violation is a serious offense, and they do crack down.\n\nAlso, remember that with DVDs, there are not just copyright issues involved. While Copyright law allows backups for personal use in some situations, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act prohibits any activity that bypasses encryption, including making copies of commercial DVDs, which are encrypted.\n\nSo, while Customs may or may not care, you should should check with an attorney to see if making those copies was illegal.

e-bay is very good I have a feedback of over 550, and that is something you need to do if your buying check the persons feedback, check the P&P a lot over charge , th ebest way to pay is paypal which should give you protection, and you would get you money back. There are some that are out to catch you, but as I said chack the feedback, and don't buy from someone who has none, also e-mail  to them if needed and ask for details about the item, this way you have something in writing. Watch out for buying DVD's again check what your buying otherwise you may end up with a copy. \nIf your selling then make sure you have the money first, making sure the cheque is cleared, some don't, also make sure you charge the write P&P I have made that mistake and lost money.\n\nOther than that enjoy, I always look on e-bay before I look anywhere else.

If you want to buy, it stills a good deal,just beware of sellers with high shipping cost,they are some taking way to muc advantage with that...they suck..but still sometimes you can get a pretty good deal,the best way to find something and not paying high shipping cost is to search first locally,there are sellers that allow local pick up I had found from stollers to furniture,playstations 2,rugs and misc items locally and went and pick them up with no extra cost,and excellent deal I would say (I've got the PS2 for $50 and I went and picked it up and save $15 on shipping charges)if you can not do that always ask for combined shipping on multiple items...\nIF you are selling that is another ticket,ebay just raise their auctions fees, I still dont know how that works but they charge you whatever they want...plus Paypal fees and all that you end up with at least $1 to $4 short after you sell something..again sometimes it is worth it but it is getting way to expensive...\nI hope I helped with this long answer

Wow, that's a strange one. You say that every other DVD you own/rent works just fine in your machine, eh? Sounds like some sort of copy protection deal going on. Is this perhaps a new release DVD (probably from Sony Pictures)? If so, there may be a CSS on there that will not allow the disc to play on a PC (supposedly to eliminate piracy, but really just aggravating to those of us that are gravitating towards media centers).\n\nTry a Copy Protection removal tool (I wish I could tell you the name of one. You'll just have to google it yourself) and see if that works. If not, call the manufacturer of the disc.\n\nSorry I couldn't help any more than this but I've never encountered this problem before.....

My wife used to import several hundred thousand DVDs on a monthly basis from China, she went to Global Sources to find those providers the company she used to work needed. She had no complain for those years in the company.

If i were you, I will produce my onw DVD! A series of 10 1hours dvd. You will need to find 10 cast for this. This could be very fun and lucrative! And yes, you will be able to resell them also in wholesale after a while on...eBay!

different country has different region codes...you need to find out the region code of the dvd and see if it matches your machine...if your not sure, you can google it
