There is a pretty good chance that it will be released in Region 1 too. Many BBC films are shown as Discovery programs, and they get US releases. Might get the extra 10 minutes on each one too :-) My player plays Region 2, but if it is missing the geyser footage, I may wait and see what else comes.. ************** "Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened" -Anatole France --- On Mon, 4/6/09, Debbie Sjodin <debbie.sjodin at clearwire.net> wrote: From: Debbie Sjodin <debbie.sjodin at clearwire.net> Subject: RE: [Geysers] BBC Show (Schwarz) To: "'Geyser Observation Reports'" <geysers at lists.wallawalla.edu> Date: Monday, April 6, 2009, 6:35 PM The fact that its coded Region 2 (PAL) means most of our machines in this country won’t be able to play it.

Here are the details from the website: Release Date: 23/03/2009 Format: DVD Genre: Nature & Science Region: 2 More info on Regions Product Ref: bbcdvd2858 Contains: 1x DVD Duration: 3x50minutes Here's the link so you can check yourself: http://www.bbcshop.com/Science+Nature/Yellowstone-DVD/invt/bbcdvd2858 Fortunately I managed to record all three complete at the time. Cheers Derek ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Beth Schwarz To: geysers at lists.wallawalla.edu Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 6:10 PM Subject: [Geysers] BBC Show (Schwarz) The BBC people told us that the geyser gazer segment would probably never be seen in the United States because each hour of programming has about 10 minutes of commercials. The 3 shows about Yellowstone are 50 minutes long and each one has a 10-minute "extra" so in the UK it fills the whole hour (without commercials). The extra 10 minutes can easily be dropped when shown on Discovery or other American channels. It appears that the only way to see the segments with Jeff Henry and the geyser gazers is to buy the DVD with all 3 parts. I do not know when this DVD might be available.
