Agreed and done.


The Oils on the Water torrent wasn't shared on the list (that I've 

seen), and I just was explaining why the idea that it could be 
purchased didn't occur to me.  These things aren't for sale in the 
US, so I didn't really give it much thought.

It's just a shame that they are not.  Even if I purchased the DVD 

from an overseas distributor, I couldn't watch it on my NTSC DVD 
player.

I live in the US and when Oils On the Water was released by the ABC 
I bought a $30 Cyberhome dvd player specifically because it will 
play essentially all formats of dvds.  The DVD cost twice what the 
DVD player cost, but since then I've amassed a huge collection of 
DVDs in PAL format that I couldn't play if not for this cheap/small 
decent player.  There are probably plenty more players you can buy 
in the US that will play PAL, possibly none cheaper.  Don't let $30 
stand between you and enjoying all the great PAL dvds available.
