What kind of DVD media should I purchase for this?

best dvd players in india image

Caramba

So, I am planning to burn a classic and hard-to-find Hindi movie for myself. I need to burn it onto media that will be readable in a regular DVD player in India. Any hints on what kind of media I should buy? FYI: Hindi movies typically take up about 6.5 G - they are long.

Answer
Most stand alone DVD players play the DVD+R media the best in my experience. You really don't need a 6.5GB disc as there are many programs (freeware DVDShrink is great) that can slightly reduce the quality so that it will fit on a standard 4.7GB single layer disc.

Can dvds brought from India work on the dvd players in USA?

Ms. K

If i buy dvds from india can they still play on my american dvd player here?

Answer
No. DVDs are made to work in different parts of the world. The US is region 1 where as India is region 5. You DVD player is a region 1 so it can only play region 1 discs.

There is one way to get around it though. In several on-line forums you can learn hacks that you can do to your player to make it region free. Then you can play it on your player.

Also a computers region code can be changed to play multi-region discs. Be careful though. The region on your computer can only be changed 5 times. So choose wisely.
