Sorry to thread hijack.. But you're kidding right? You know how big DVD piracy is in the Philippines? Almost every corner has a DVD booth where you can buy pirated movies before they even come out. I have almost a hundred pirated disks and they work on my US player fine, and the pirates even make a pirated DVD player which almost everyone has...

LOL!!!! YEAH RIGHT.... :lol: B)

I once brought my girl an external DVD drive (bought in US) for her laptop, and when we tried to play one of her DVD movies on it, the holes on the DVD and the Drive were even different sizes.

I'm not into the pirated DVD's like some in this thread, and personally if I were, I would not be bragging about all the illegal disks I have smuggled in from the Phils :whistle:

:P B) :lol::D

If there is no other way to send the package, you can send it thru internet. There are lots of free file sharing sites where you can upload your file. And if the file is too big, you can also use free applications to split it into smaller files and put password on it as a sort of security.

Shoot,

Maybe this is why my USPS package hasn't arrived yet, and it's been 4 weeks since I sent it.

Guess I should've done a better job hiding the DVD. :(

I sent my fiancee books that took about 5 weeks to arrive.. I think the folks working the Phil Post read them before delivering. :-)

But the DVD's from US won't work on DVD players in the Phils. It's a regional restriction to prevent piracy.

DVD's created on a PC do not have country/regional codes, I have copied many of my DVD movies and sent to the Philippines and they work fine. Im sure the wedding DVD was created on a pc...
