Many people buy their DVD movies on the Internet. Sometimes from a totally different country. Be aware though that not every DVD from every country will play on your DVD player. DVD disks are "
region coded", that means they will only play in players with a matching Region Code. Some players allow you to change the Region Code a few times (specifically DVD players for PCs), but after that the Region Code will be fixed. Some players offer some kind of
hack (since it's officially illegal) to make the player
Region Free, i.e. it will play DVDs from
any country. But even if your DVD player is Region Free, that doesn't mean it will play all DVDs. For instance, the USA and Europe use different TV systems (NTSC for USA and PAL for Europe) which are not compatible with each other. So if you are in the USA and your TV and DVD player can't handle PAL, you will not be able to play DVDs from Europe - even if your player is Region Free.
