Rundown of things with pics

[beck]

I got my Beat Crusaders cds/dvds in the mail this morning. Man, talk about fast shipping. HMV processed my order on the 1st and they arrived yesterday (I didn't get the notice in the mail till late last night). And that came from Japan. They may have shipped it express but I must say the price was pretty decent.

Speaking of Beat Crusaders, I made an entry about a bunch of goodies and I highly recommend anyone to dl the song I have posted. I can't stop listening to it, it's such a powerful, punch in the gut song. Damn I love Hidaka's vocals.

I also posted some YT links to their recent live stuff as well as two awesome acoustic sets. You can check out the entry here.

I couldn't help but post this, Sunday's Garfield had me laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. I'm sure ALL us cat lovers know this all too well.

Sunday morning we had a massive storm come through. It came from the west so we were right into it when we left the DFW airport to drop off my f-i-l. It got so black and it poured it's ass off. I first thought the clouds were going north but it eventually caught up to us at the house around 9am. The clouds were kinda creepy looking but pretty damn neat.

The pics beneath the cut are what bubba took when the Fire Dept was on storm watch. I'm really surprised no tornado came through especially for how those clouds looked. The lightening show on the way home from the airport was pretty damn cool.

If you order thru them, w/3-5 Day UPS Express shipping, your estimated total would be about $94.39. If it's just regular UPS Ground, then it'll be about $86.49. It looks like it's about an $8 difference between the 2; w/the exception of time arrival. That I couldnt tell you.

If there's no1 w/an All-Region DVD Player, you could try tonberrytorrents.com to see if there are any Beat Crusaders DVD available for D/L. I know some folks usually go there to d/l high quality JRock/JPop DVDs.

Hope this helps! *^_^*

I shall keep that in mind for future reference. Thanx chickie.

I can do it, if you want. I have a multi region player, and my dvd rom can handle it, if I burn the rip in CloneDVD it will make it region free by default.

[babaca.livejournal.com]

US dvds are region 1 (maybe your dvd is PAL (UK) instead of NTSC? Region 2 is Japan. But I can sort that all out if you send it my way.

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

DOH! I went back and fixed the region #'s. I always get them confused. But yeah, the dvds are Japan region.

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

That would be so awesome! I wasn't sure if your player was like that or not or I would've asked you sooner.

I'll send both dvds out to you in the morning. Thanx!

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

Just letting ya know I sent out the cds this morning. You should have them tomorrow if not by Fri. I put them in a box so that way you can re-use it to send them back. Let me know how your progress goes on converting them. Thanx again!

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

While I think of it, is there a way you could also make those two discs as avi files as well? (separately of course)

[babaca.livejournal.com]

I can do that as well.

Garfield is (as per usual) hilarous! ^0^

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

Always! Always!

I know you've already solved your problem, Beck, but if you've got a decently well-known dvd player, you could program it to be region free. Just a suggestion ♥

Btw, any new RenRuki doujinshi out? I know Honey Canon's got that Division 10 doujinshi out with Hitsugaya on the front, but I've been out of the loop on Bleach dj. Been busy collection OP :)

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

The normal dvd player we've had since '02 and the other dvd player is a recorder so I have a feeling the 1st one might not be able to program but it's hard to say if the recorder one will since that's about 2yrs old. Plus the damn player didn't come with a decent booklet so I doubt it'll give me much info.

No, I haven't seen any new RenRuki djs recently and I was just checking YJ! yesterday. I'm hoping that HC does another new RenRuki soon but I have a feeling it might be GinRan since they seem to go in some sort of order of what pairings they need to come out with at the time.

[blackestfaery.livejournal.com]

Manufacturers wouldn't give you instructions on how to program the player to be region free anyways, since they're proprietary like that.

If it's not a hassle to you, you could give me the make and model of both and I can check my resources to see if I can find them for you. I'm at work right now, so I'll check back when I get home :)

[yankeerose69.livejournal.com]

I can call hubby and see if he can give me the info since I'm at work myself. *lol*

Okay here's the stuff on the dvd players:

LG XBR446

Sony DVP-NS300

First place the Other Region Dvd in the Player. The the player will display "Incorrect Region Code. Can’t play back" and eject the DVD. When this happens leave the DVD in the tray and follow theses steps:

2. Highlight the Lock option from the setup menu

3. Slide open the cover and press the Lock button on your remote control this will lock your DVD player

4. Then Press the 0 button on your remote control 7 times

5. The player will then say Congratulations! Player(Loader)Region free![Yes]
Then Press Enter on your remote control

6. Then press the Setup button then the Open/Close button on your remote control and the dvd will start to play

7. Repeat step 3 to Unlock the player

Sony DVP-NS300:

These are three different ways to do it. Only one may work:

Code 1

Turn on the unit with the remote controller, Wait until "no disc" appears in the unit's display. Press the keys: PAUSE, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9. And "CODE" will appear in the display. Press the number key that corresponds to the disc zone you want to play within the next 5 seconds:0: All regions / 1: Region#1 / 2: R#2/... and so on. Then, within 5 seconds, press: PAUSE, POWER... and voilà. If you don't have good results, disconnect the equipment and repeat.

Code 2

Put your player in standby mode and then enter: [[0] [ENTER] Default Default region code [1] [ENTER] or [UP] [ENTER] Region 1 [2] [ENTER] or [RIGHT] [ENTER] Region 2 [3] [ENTER] or [DOWN] [ENTER] Region 3 [4] [ENTER] or [LEFT] [ENTER] Region 4 [5] [ENTER] or [TITLE] [ENTER] Region 5 [6] [ENTER] or [DVDMENU] [ENTER] Region 6 [7] [ENTER] or [RETURN] [ENTER] Region 7 [8] [ENTER] or [DISPLAY] [ENTER] Region 8

Code 3

Put player into standby modes by pressing power button on remote control. Then press Title button. Press Clear button. Press Power button.

Hope they work! If not, tell me, and I'll keep looking :)
