Try looking for Philips DVP624 DVD player. It is the best player out
there. Region free. ALso plas WIndows MPEG, AVI and DIvx. I'm sure
some site in your area must be selling it or call philips to send one
out to u.

You are best off with a PC based DVD ROM, you are basically looking
for an illegal DVD reader.

Usrhelp, 

Illegal? Illegal where? Maybe in the United States (because of DMCA). 

This user is apparently in JORDAN. This is an independent country,
which is not subject to US industry-inspired laws and regulations. You
might be surprised, but the (U.S.) American concept of copyright
violation is not accepted in other countries in the world.

Moreover, DCMA and the US law in fact contradict international treaties: 
"Often such regional restrictions are in conflict with national law,
for instance in pioneering regions such as Hong Kong, where parallel
import is expressly allowed and supported by government bodies. Also,
the High Court of Australia has recently concluded that modification
of devices to circumvent region lockout is allowed under Australian
law[1].

It also violates the international copyright treaty [2], Article 4[3],
which equates electronic media with that of other literary works such
as books, with the copy owner having the right to buy, read, and sell
the material anywhere in the world, as well as Article 10 [4], which
prohibits the introduction of national legislation that limits copy
owners normal use." (Wikipedia,

Apparently, usrhlp is not alone. Many American lawyers do not realise
that US law is not a global law, as this entertaining collection of
letters reveals:
