I think you'll need to covert them to region 2 DVD first.

arent these players region free, i thought that was one of the differences between the hd dvd and blue ray format, hd dvd region free, blue ray set to the region u r in, region 2 in our case.

If you burn your own disc wont it be a standard dvd as opposed to a hd dvd and when playing sd dvds these players are locked to region 2.

There is a region free fix for the HDEP10 but not for our machines at the mo.
Hopefully Toshiba will do this in the future with an update but there's no way of knowing for sure

that would depend on whether he is burning a normal film, or a hd film, but that is a different matter.

The only HD-DVD burner I've found is over £200!

oh here is a review from someone who brought on from play, he mentions that there is about 400 region free films to choose from, here is the review :-

Should have reviewed this months ago when i paid £200 for it. Even at that price it was worth every penny. Yes Bluray won, but this is a dedicated machine that will upgrade DVD so well some are hard pressed to tell the difference. About 400 region free HD-DVDs to choose from, bargains can be had. I'm tempted to buy another for the bedroom it's such a good machine.
Understand though, this is a computer in most respects and takes a minute to boot up. This annoyed me until i realised. And if you stop watching a film and turn it off, hit resume play and not just play as it will start from the beginning.
Sound and image quality are truly amazing. Very sound buy.

so i presumed because he mentioned region free films, he had watched them on this machine
