Of course I cannot condone any solution contrary to any Australian, US, or international law.

Most DVD players offer the option to change the region code...
Please be aware that due to DVD piracy problems, every DVD player manufactured, regardless of who makes it or where it is made, allows a maximum (if at all) of THREE region code changes.
In your circumstance, this would mean that you can change your DVD player region code to region 1 (US), watch your videos, and then change it back to the AU region code...You would then be allowed one more change. If you attempt to change the region code after that, your DVD player would lock out and be turned into a paperweight.

As a "Yank" who has been to Australia (Perth NSW- twice!) I sympathize with your problem- wanting to have these videos forever and not being able to watch them at all....

The only "safe" option that I can offer is to surf the web for a program called DVD-Shrink, or something similar that will allow you to remove the region code from your DVD's, and set it to "region zero"...which will play the DVD anyplace, anytime. DVD-Shrink works as a copy program from a PC DVDR drive and can remove most region codes from a DVD depending on the disc- most is explained in the FAQ.

Please do not allow yourself to be duped into trying an "all regions" download for your DVD PLAYER. Every single one that I have received a reply about, after warning off the "customer" has resulted in a "my player does not work anymore" response!

Disney dvd player wont play movies (dvd) but plays music (cd) fine

Might be the type of movie - some of them are only able to play "G" ratings. Try this: click <play> 1234 <play> It will likely unlock the dvd that is in and will begin to play. You will have to do the 'code' each time, or there's an unlock program you can purchase.

Won`t play disney movies

Apparently this is a known issue. Some dvp642 players have compatibility issues with some of the Disney DVD's. A firmware update might help. There is a discussion of this at: http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/t317193.html
