This DVD Set Will Play on US DVD players.. if? |
I have been waiting a long time for this dvd. Now I can watch it.
Here is the trick. It has to be a newer DVD player. Older US DVD players will only play region 1. Some of the Newer DVD players will play the newer region 0 DVD. This version of AGAINST THE WIND set is a region 0 DVD. Look on the back of the your dvd player to see if it says region 1, ALL (all=region 0)
I have an older 2002 dvd player that wont play it.. but the unit I bought in 2006 will. Look for a multiformat DVD player.

Great film on Australia's Founding |
|
I saw this years ago on US Forces TV in Germany. The drama of how convicts helped found Australia and the portrayal of the characters hooked my wife and I from the start. Please release this in USA DVD format. |

My Favorite Miniseries of All Time! |
|
I saw this miniseries when it was shown in the 70's on one of the regular networks right here in the U.S.A. and I fell in love with it and wanted to own it ever since! Fortunately, someone from Australia made a copy that would play on U.S. DVD players and sold it on eBay so I NOW have a copy. Of course it cost me a fortune but it was worth every penny. This show has it all: A rich and gripping story, characters that you really root for, characters that are pure evil, characters that fall in-between good and bad; idealism, bravery, cowardice, romance, beautiful scenery, beautiful music, et cetera. This is what I call great television! |

I agree with everyone - need US format |
|
I too saw this years ago on a snowy barely recieving a signal television but watched faithfully anyway and would love to see it again without the snow. Hopefully they will bring it out in US format soon so those of us who are haunted by the story can see it again. |

Best Mini Series Ever! |
|
I loved this mini-series back in the 70s. I remember watching it with my entire family and it captivated everyone from my grandmother to my brothers (who were generally too cool for anything). I will be one of the first to buy the US format. Please do it soon!!! |
