Will the old xbox play dvds from other countries?

Yes, as long as the regional code on the back of the cover matches.

Nope you can't. The original Playstation does not have the parts in it to play the discs! :)

No, not unless the DVD is "region free" but I have heard that those don't work reliably on all DVD players.

The previously mentioned codecs may help you view DVDs, but nothing will work better than an upgrade to Windows Media Player 10, which plays DVDs just fine.\n\nhttp://www.windowsmedia.com\n\nClick on the free player download link.

You probably need a decoder to get it to work.  (I am assuming that the DVDs you are trying will work in another player).\n\nGoogle "dvd decoder for windows".  Lots of sites will have decoder info.

well....some dvd's are meant to stay in a country. we for example are region 1. since currency is different across the globe, u could easily get the latest movies for like 10 cents. and new movies are released at different times across the globe. if u use a decoder, its like piracy.

This site will give you the format and name brands that your dvd player will accept. Good luck. \nhttp://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=1069&Search=Search&

Yes, if your computer had a DVD drive in it, and if your computer is fairly new. It doesn't have to be really new, as long as it doesn't have some old 300 MHz processor in it. Even then it might work, but I don't think so. My comp runs DVDs fine with a 800 MHz processor in it, we also have 640 MB of memory, a bit of memory helps your comp with everything, including DVDs, but you probably don't need that much.

Buy a multi region dvd player,they're fairly inexpensive i got one for £25 that is about $40.\nThese will play dvd's with any region.

anthony and moni are on the right track. however, in case you are talking about a DVD player that is not a part of the computer, in other words, hooks up to tele, it will need to be a conversion program that fits the region code for where the friend lives, such as region 2, UK.\nAlso, there is a possibility that the programme download had something wrong with its sound. It has happened to me. \nNothing will help in that case of course.\nI hope this gives more immediate help than the message that said learn computers and told you about those books. A good idea for the long term, but for immediate things, asking here is great.  \nWe can ask questions, give answers, and learn together.\nP.S. Dwight, I like your resources page linked from your 360 page. Good show!

As far as i know there only out in region 1 thats for the American market so the only way to get them is to have a region 1 or multi region dvd palyer. If u have one of these u can get them on amazon.co.uk or Play.com

Check for DVD Burner or if it is a Codec go to microsoft, do searches and try installing ones that you may need.

Nowaday DVD drives can only play one region code because big business want people to pay to get the right version.  Movie companies also want to control the release date of the movies in different part of the world to maximize their profit.  One way to get around it is to rip the dvd with a decrypter.  It will remove all region code or makes it ALL-Code.  Then you can play it in any DVD players.

it is not possible to play in all DVD players as it depends on each DVD player what formats they will play.
