    Hi,
    I am trying to obtain Series 3 of ONEDIN LINE< all I think I can get is a VHS from the UK.  I don't think that would work, would it?  But, I guess a DVD would be OK, in the US, or elsewhere.  Please give me the possible address of any concern who can sell a Series 3 DVD.
    Many thanks,
    Linda Huthmaker

    Subject: Series 4 and maybe 5 and others on DVD?

    Been away on holiday for a couple of weeks so catching up on my mail. I've not got my DVDs of series 4 yet. For me it is very good news that these are now available as my recordings of this series were done on a ropey old VCR I had at the time. So I'll be glad to replace them.

    I also need 2 episodes from series 5, "When Trouble Comes" and "Rescue" to replace my bad versions then I have a complete series 5 on DVD, So if anyone has good quality tapes with these 2 episodes I'll do a swap. You lend me the tapes and I'll send them back to you along with the complete series 5 on DVDs or whatever else we can agree
    on.

    Since it seems unlikely that further series will be released in the near future I may be persuaded to do "swaps" for other TV series or maybe just for the cost of covering materials and postage, if anyone is interested.

    Almost all the rest of the series episodes of the whole series I have in good enough quality to transfer to DVD, (my "just for fun" mail should give an idea of the quality
    http://www.sound-research.co.uk/clip.htm I must add another clip to this). I think there are possibly 2 more episodes in my collection which are ok to watch but fall below what I regard as acceptable for DVD, IIRC these are "No Smoke Without Fire" and "Storm Clouds" there might be one or two more.

    Bill.

    PS

    I've noticed that UK Drama is at the moment running series 1 The Onedin Line. At the moment it is up to episode 13 Shadow of Doubt (today 4 to 5 pm BST). So if anyone needs to needs to fill in some gaps in their collection time to get the
    recorder dusted off.

    Hi Linda,

     

    Series 3 and 4 are available at eBay,
    bol.com and freerecordshop.com (as well as series 1 and 2). Don’t know if
    you can play all region DVDs because series 3 and 4 are only available in
    region2.

    In the UK
    they have only series 1 on DVD and 1 and 2 on video, the same in the
    US .

     

    Regards,

    Marianne

    There is little point in buying VHS tapes unless
    you don't have a DVD player.
     
    Series 3 is available on DVDs which are far more
    robust and do not wear out through repeated use.
     
    BUT…. USA is
    region 1, UK and Europe (Australia as well I think) and some other parts of the
    world are region 2. As sold a player will probably only play the region you
    are in (USA in your case). As far as the region compatibility is concerned
    many players can be made to play back discs from any region. This is called
    region hacking and is not as fearsome as it sounds. Check the list of players
    and the instructions here to make your player region free enter the model an hit
    the search button:
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks If
    you have a player listed there you are ok. If not I'd suggest buying a cheap
    player, I don't know about the USA but in the UK DVD players are for sale at
    less than £20 which I'd guess is about $30 and can be made region
    free.
     
    The USA uses a TV system called NTSC, in the UK
    Europe and much of the rest of the world the PAL system is used. The good news
    is that as far as I am aware all DVD players will correctly play either system
    so there should be no problem with that.
     
    Bill.

    Sorry – meant to say that series 3 is available I
    can't remember the URL now to the online shop, but a search on eBay should find
    what you want. I expect someone on here will remind us of the link.

    Australia is Region 4, but all Australian players are unlocked, so are
    region free.
