You have three options... 1). try looking around the web for a "DVD hacks" code to make your player region free. You simply input a region free hack code into your player to make it play different regions and it also unlocks the PAL/NTCS and Macrovision copyright codes. This will also allow you to play NTSC and PAL dvds. At least that is what I have found in using my Philips dvd players.

Try looking here...

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/sony-bdp-s350/9527

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/sony-bdp-s360/10264

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/sony-bdp-s370/10827



2.) IF those codes don't work for you... years ago I bought a cheap Philips dvd player at Walmart. I think it sold for under $44. Use the same website to seach for the dvd hack code... I know with Philips DVD players I can play a PAL or NTSC disc with no problems.


3.).... try dowloading a free version of "DVD Shrink". Most laptop dvd players are region free and DVD Shrink will allow you to copy a PAL dvd and burn it in NTSC format. Shrink will also allow you to burn the dvd in region free - but this is not the problem with this film/dvd since it comes in "Region 0". I think using DVD Shrink program might be the easiest option for you.

You are WELCOME.

Try using one (or all of)those three dvd hack/links. I did not see your SONY player listed with a known hack. But often times another model's dvd hack will work across the model line. IF it works... be sure to post it on that page.

Btw... I can say for certain that DVD Shrink will copy the dvd just fine, for playback in a US (NTSC) dvd player. Just so I can have a "back up" copy.

Before ordering realize that chances are this will not play for you as previously stated.

Try playing it in your laptop/pc. Or... rip a copy(like using DVD Shrink) and burn it in a "region free" or "region 0" code. Then it should play.

The reason why it does not play is bc it is a PAL dvd. Your gonna need to convert it or play it in a "code free player" that can play PAL and NTSC discs.

Those of us in the USA that ordered the Blu-Ray have a problem.
We probably would have been able to covert a normal DVD with DVD SHRINK.

Looks like we are stuck until a solution becomes available.
What a buzz-kill.

Why can't you guys just rip the BluRay dvd to a normal dvd ?

Use that site www.videohelp.com for answers to your problem. You should be able t rip yourself a clean copy with the right SW.


Here are some Blu Ray dvd players that are code free for just over $115...

I figured I'd add in what I've found out. I ordered two copies, one copy for me and one for my dad. I just got them two days ago and tried to play mine on my Playstation 3 but it was just a black screen. So I started doing some research and this is what I found out:

-I believe the issue you guys are having has nothing to do with region coding. The Blu-Rays were produced for the European market and it was produced in a different format named Full HD 1080i 50Hz, now I don't know a whole lot about this but Sony Playstation 3s don't play anything in the 50Hz format. I also believe that there are a select few Sony Blu-Ray players that support this as well. I then tried the disc in my dad's player and it worked. His is a Samsung and it converted the format from the 50Hz to the standard US format.

Here is a forum that has a list of players that support it and a bunch more info:
http://forum.blu-ray.com/blu-ray-pla...atibility.html

Hope this helps everybody else. The movie is EPIC BTW.

No Steve Jobs didn't believe in Blu-Ray so he never had them put into MACS. I'll rip the blu-ray to a file for you guys. Working it now.

On a mac you'll need:
1) a Blu-Ray drive
2) Blu-Ray software(Mac BluRay Player...not free $59.99 lifetime)
and/or to rip
3) MakeMKV

Nice work mate!


Personally... I preferred watching the film in German w/o English subtitles. But then again I know enough German to get by and understand what they are saying.


This is simply the best film I have seen on BMW Motorsport.

Thanks and I totally agree. It really makes you appreciate the BMW M brand and what they're all about.

***You know my initial BluRay rip was 21GBs!
