Hard to find DVDs- Any suggestions?

I'm trying to find a DVD that so far I've only tracked down in North American format. It's the Imax film of the asscent of Everest in 1996. Does anyone know of any sites that can find hard to obtain DVDs or can you suggest another solution? Thanks.

Your pc can play region 1 dvd BUT it will only allow you to change region so many times ( i believe it is 5) before it stays Locked to the last region chosen .You then have to "Flash" the drive to try & unlock it again which can be hit & miss .
The other easier option is to use a "dvd region free ,css" program which removes the coding from the dvd & stops the dvd drive changing region .
I have it & have used it on 3 pc's & 2 laptops for the last 4 years with no problems .If you want it I can email it to you but be warned it is 5.4 mb zipped .

Thanks Colin. Our proper PC is still knackered but it will be up and running soon. Would you be kind enough to email it if I PM you when we're sorted?

I'm in sunny Devon (where it's pi$$ing down). I'm more of a Devon/Cornwall/Dorset diver.

Is this the fella

Amazon.com: Everest [Region 2]: DVD: Liam Neeson,Beck Weathers,Jamling Tenzing Norgay,Paula Viesturs,Ed Viesturs,Araceli Segarra,Greg MacGillivray,David Breashears,Stephen Judson

Not cheap though. The two sellers that have it on Region 2 are asking $35 for a used one, and $57 for a new one.


Crazy considering you seem to be able to get the USA version for $7

(all prices probably + postage)
