Welcome to the <a href="http://forum.digital-digest.com/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_new_faq_item">Digital Video Forums</a> jp2racing!
You could go the hard and often undesirable result method by converting the PAL video stream to NTSC so that it will play but, I recommend just getting a DVD player that is capable of playing both format streams. Cyberdome makes ones for a cheap price. Please give me a sec to search for it. The BestBuy site and Circuit City site are both down for maintenance.
I am pretty sure its under $40.

The player you have is a region 1 USA and Canada,
Some movies you can backup region free with DVDShrink. I would try that.
I had bought a region 3 DVD once I didn’t realize it wasn’t my region and I backed it up region free.Comment

BestBuy sells the same one though if you have a BestBuy near you.Comment

jp2racing, One of my players is the SD 2800 and I remember reading about some hacks, so I started searching and found this one that seems like it's what you want. Go Here and try what they recommend. I've never tried this, so let us know if it works! I'm curious.Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed!Comment
