I was wondering if anyone could advise me of a cheap multi region dvd player. My Mum lives in the Caribbean, she has a desktop computer but no tv. I have a lot of boxsets she'd love to borrow but they won't play on her computer, so I wondered if there is a cheap multi region dvd player that would plug in to her computer monitor, or maybe a multi region portable dvd player.

Any advise would be great thanks.

    If you find a normal dvd player that looks like it will fit the bill, simply then google the make/model and "region free" code.
    You should then be able to turn it into a multi region player. Usually a case of opening the tray and pressing a few buttons on the remote, it's that easy.

    Use the region unlocking tool on her computer DVD drive.

    Or use software that ignores the region code on the drive.

    Sorry for sounding stupid, but how would I do that?
