This review is from: Against the Wind ( Mini-Series) 4-DVD Set [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

I loved this series when it was shown on American television. It inspired a lifelong interest in Australia and the penal colony established there. I've been attempting to get a copy of this series for years. Oh, when will it finally be released in a format compatible to US DVD players?

This review is from: Against the Wind ( Mini-Series) 4-DVD Set [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

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.

This was a brilliant mini-series that needs to be issued in US format! Fabulous acting, gripping story, developed characters that you could invest emotion in -- top notch, have been looking for it for years.
