kiwik Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I am looking at leap frog DVDs on amazon UK. Most of them are region 1 and format. I am in region 4 PAL format. I have played region 1 DVDs on my DVD player but I know some are now made with an extra thing preventing their use on multi-region players. Has anyone bought and used these on a non region 1 (outside Canada and US) player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXBeth Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Our region 1 Leapfrog DVDs work fine on our DVD player bought here in Thailand (region 3 I think?). My understanding is that it is the players that are region-locked, not the DVDs, and that most places besides the US have region-free players.

kiwik Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Apparently it is possible to put some sort of image enhancement that prevents using multi region players but I doubt it applies to leap frog really - I imagine it is for blockbuster movies. I think I will risk it for ds3's birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 We bought our DVD player in China and it's not region-locked. I think that you can get multi-region players in other countries if you search. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 not sure if this is related or not. I bought my boys a computer game that wouldn't work here, wrong time zone. We shifted the time zone setting on the computer and it then worked fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I bought that leapfrog DVD from fishpond..it was region 1 I think. Anyway it works fine on our DVD player (PAL) and so do the magic school bus DVDs I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will risk it for ds3's birthday. I think our Leapfrog dvds came from Amazon US and they were fine. I haven't had a problem with any dvds and haven't heard of this image enhancement issue, but then we don't buy many blockbuster-type movies.
