Got mine within a week in The Netherlands. However i do have a problem, my dvd player in my computer won't load and play the dvd's, don't know what's wrong with it, it does play other dvd's. Fortunately, I still can play the dvd's from my tv-set, had a quick glance and indeed, it does look very promising! Now if only I could find a way to convince my wife this is better stuff than the reruns from Friends she want's to see....Ben

Glen> Great, it's not just me then! I thought my postman had got lost! I'm also in Middle England, so we'll hopefully get them around the same time.Ben> Strange! I was under the impression that they would not work in European DVD players (as it is recorded in NTSC as opposed to PAL). Will try it in mine when it arrives...

The regional restriction of DVDs has got to be one of the stoopidest inventions ever for the PC, no? I mean, how ridiculous can one get? Sorry to vent, but it's been a pet peeve of mine for years! I hope everybody gets their AoA DVD to work for them in their machines.Greetings from Sunny Virginia,Jonathan

How and where do I change the regional format or is there a workaround? Is it correct I can only change it 5 times? Although I can watch the dvd on my tv set I would much rather watch it on my PC so I can have the PMDG setup on my 2nd monitor and go through the procedures as decribed on the dvd simultanesly.greez,Ben

USA is region 1, UK is 2 and others blah blah>blah.....>>THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO PICTURE FORMAT......>The USA use NTSC, this relates to the number of lines that the>picture is made up of and used to be a problem many years back>with VHS tapes and old TV's. Nowadays DVD players can play>either NTSC or PAL and most TV's play whatever they're given!>>As stated in Lee's first post edit the 747 dvd's are NOT>REGION CODED. It shouldn't matter what picture format they are>in as your PC will be able to cope!>>You will not need to change the region code of your DVD>drive.>>Hope this helps>Glen Lee>Ok, seems sensible to me. That doesn't explain why I can play the dvd on my tv system but not on my pc. Must be something else whats wrong, so I'll keep looking...Ben

Yeah, they had some problems with the online shipping system, but Chris insured that all orders were shipped last week. Mine was #21, so probably close to the top of the pile. Hopefully yours will arrive today...
