David Bowie - Young Americans (DTS/DD DVD-V) -- Can I Play this Damn Thing?

[Eggplant]

For some reason it slipped my mind that this was not a Region 1 DVD.

Is there some way a good 'Merican citizen like me can play this thing without a multi-region player, or plugging fifteen things into my computer?

Or maybe there's someone who can extract the DD track for me onto a disc?

Thx

not sure if this helps, but if it's a case of the sound working but video doesn't (as is the case on my pio dv-45a), neil documented a way to navigate without a monitor. https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/showpost.php?p=58824&postcount=8

I just bought a copy of this from Amazon.com and I expected it would be an import, but it is clearly a domestic release, so I assume it is a region 1 NTSC disc. Is this not the case? I haven't had a chance to play it yet. Also, it only has a DD logo, so I assume no DTS track. Does the U.K. release have a DTS track?

I have the US domestic release and can confirm region 1 and DTS 5.1 - there is no logo for DTS on the package but it is an option on the DVD menu and the mix is quite good.

Thanks for the info; this is great news! You just saved me the cost and hassle of purchasing an import just to get the DTS track.

The DTS stream is 24/96 as well.
eggplant - you got a PM

Damn, didn't know there was a U.S. release.
Ordered mine from Amazon UK.
Guess I f'd up.

I got mine at FYE and it plays just fine in all my DVD players.

No doubt, it's always nice to see that DTS 24/96 label light up on my receiver/amp. (Well... that is, it's nice to see since they didn't want to do it up in true hi-rez DVD-Audio. Heck, at this point and time I'm just thrilled to even get a decent DTS surround mix!)
