There's an Australian movie called "Looking for Alibrandi" which I love. I want to get a copy of it, but here's my issue: Aussie video tapes don't work over here (although some of them work over there--my copy of 'The Faculty' was watched a few times over that 6-months period!), and DVDs are region-specific (the US is region 1 and Aus region 4, I believe).
I thought that a computer DVD-ROM wasn't restricted to regions (aka region 0), but apparently I was wrong. I know there are some DVD players that are universal, but those are the ones I can't afford. I love this movie, but not enough to spend $500 or something on a DVD player. That's almost half of the amount I'd need to fly back and just rent it there...

So, here's my question: how do I watch this movie in the states? Can I buy the VHS tape and have it converted? If I buy the DVD as-is from Australia, is there anywhere I will be able to view it here in los Estados Unidos?
Ando, Dalton said maybe you could rip the movie, burn it on an SVCD and send it to me.......? I'd pay you for the movie, shipping, etc. of course--would something like that be possible?
