My TV has one DVI/HDMI input, and I currently have my HD cable box connected to it. Since I bought an upconverting DVD player with HDMI output for improved picture quality, I need a switch box so that I can have both the cable box and DVD player connected to the TV at the same time. Without a switch box, I'd have to yank the TV out and swap cables each time I went from cable to DVD and back.

If a film was released on DVD in several countries, it makes sense that there would be several regions. When I go here, I see all the different region versions of the disc: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=5357

when I then go to mr. international on eBay and see that he is selling an R0 version, doesn't this basically prove that he sells bootlegs? Unless I'm missing something obvious, someone selling a disc as R0 which was never released as R0 is selling a bootleg. What am I missing?

Bingo. ;)



I noticed a very interesting thing after i started downloading movies and burn them on dvd´s. The quality were just the same, if not better, than about 90 percent of the dvd´s bought on Ebay.

Now, what does that tell ya? ;)

Sure.

Send him 100 dollars and this will be his last bootleg complaining. :D

Believe it or not, I'm not worried about getting ripped off. I just don't want to support someone selling bootlegs. I think that him selling region-free discs that were never released in region-free versions probably establishes that they are bootlegs.

If they are sending you region-free discs that were never released as region-free versions, all of them are bootlegs by definition.
