I dare you to go ahead and put an NTSC-J format video tape into an NTSC format VCR, and see if it works.
Besides, if you really want to watch Asian Region Encoded DVD's, buy an Asian Region DVD player.
How excactly did you think that people watch PAL, and NTSC-J tapes in the first place? Not only did they have to buy a VCR that read that format, they would have to buy a converter to convert the signal to NTSC format. The only alternative is multi-format VCR's, which are still up around 2 to 3 thousand dollars the last time I checked.
I think the main problem is people think they have a right to use DVD's and other such things in a way the the manufacturer doesn't want them to use them in. No such right exists.
If you want the privilege of movies from other region's, you have to pay for it.
Has anyone tried ogle? Works perfect for me, much better than any Windows DVD Player ever did, and with just as much functionality. Also, it's much easier to setup than Mplayer.
Have to agree on the unfathomable depths of the Mplayer code, though.
There is in fact a few colleges in the USA that offer Unix System Admin degrees. I go to one of them, the Unversity of New Mexico - Los Alamos. Check it out at www.la.unm.edu.

Except that they can't actually see the planet... merely detect it's prescence through gravitic disturbances.
I don't really get it. Why trade the functionality of having a hard drive and such just for geek factor?
Right....
