Yeah, im wondering if I buy, say the TBC DVD here in Europe, will it still work in the DVD players back home in North America? Or is there anything you have to watch out for or change or whatnot?

it depends... I'm not 100% sure here, but I know some dvds are burned to only play in certain 'regions', but I think others are region free.
However (again, I'm not postive on this), europe has a different TV standard than the US (PAL for Europe, NTSC for US), so that too may fuck things up.
however, if you want to watch it on a computer, you're probably fine.

i do not think it will work...when we got our basement furnished we bought our dvd player from someone who was moving to europe. They were selling it because it would be worthless to them in europe and wouldnt work.

two reasons that it probably wont work. #1...region coding. This prevents cheap bootlegs from flooding markets but in reality it just makes it confusing for consumers.
2. Depending on how the DVD was pressed it may have been encoded for PAL instead of NTSC in which case it wont play properly on your equipment.
