Can anyone tell me if Uk video players work in Australia.

Thanks

Yup,

PAL Videos work as does Sony Play Stations 2, but DVD bought here in the UK do not? I have already watched my copy of Braveheart on an Ozzie video!

DVD's should work if played on a multi-region DVD player. If you have a single region player there are hacks available to convert them, usually by pressing a sequence of keys on the remote control. See Multi-Region Hacks for Domestic DVD Players

Worked on mine!

Good to know this works, I posted this link some time ago but I think people were a bit wary of it, and I haven't tried it. Think someone else said it worked for them though...

They have the same problem that TV have, the sound down here is broadcast differently and so you cannot use most of them for recording from the TV. You can use them to play pre recorded videos from the UK or here into a UK TV or Ozzie TV.

Lots of threads with technical explanation of this problem.
