That's the least-borken Magnavision player I've seen on Youtube, ever! (In fact, I think that's the only time I've seen one sort of play a disk... made after the early 80's )

There are no profanities strong enough to express how I feel about region codes. elahrairrah wrote: One of the reasons why DVD killed off the LD so quickly that he didn't touch upon was that the industry itself was all too happy to get rid of LD as quickly as possible. DVD was cheaper to manufacture, so the movie studios were all too happy to drop the format once DVD gained a foothold. The fact that you could cram so many audio and subtitle options on a single disc probably helped too; no need to press an entirely different disc for every country!

(In fact, I think that's the only time I've seen one sort of play a disk... made after the early 80's ) Don't be fooled. That image is NOT from the Magnavision player. The player had no "search to the start" function and would begin playback at the inner limit. The horizontal roll indicates sync from the player and for the image to start that quickly after the roll indicates a player off-screen was in "freeze-frame" and started. Additionally NONE of the trick play procedures touted were available on this player. The VH-8000 was more akin to the LD-660 in terms of features than the VP-1000 Pioneer issued in 1980.

It's an annoyance for sure, but there's always been the possibility to go for a region code-free player? When I got my first DVD player back in '97 or '98 (not sure anymore), it was the first question I asked. Not code free, no deal. The player they had (they only had one model type!) was code free, however. The region code had to be changed by inserting a code of digits, and pressing some other buttons in the right sequence. On that player, it could be done for infinite times.

It's an annoyance for sure, but there's always been the possibility to go for a region code-free player? It is when they're significantly more expensive than region locked players, but more importantly, there is no way to unlock them yourself. I originally bought a separate region A player since it was cheaper, but that only proved two old sayings; you get what you pay for, and they don't make them like they used to, because that damn thing started developing faults less than a year after I'd bought it. And I couldn't even afford to send it back! Next time I'm definitely buying a region free player tho, and I'm gonna buy it within Europe so even if it breaks again, it's not gonna break the bank too sending it back. The point still is, I shouldn't have to.
