How can a movie from brazil play on a dvd player in the u.s.?

Question

the region numbers are different

Answer 1

It can't, unless you get a region free DVD player. I had the same problem, and that's what I did.

Also... you might be able to play it on your computer if you use Windows: all you have to do is put the DVD in, launch Windows Media Player, and agree to switch to region 4 when the window pops up. Then you'll have to switch back to region 1 when you want to watch an american DVD. But keep in mind that you can't change the region code on your computer more than four times. Then it gets locked and you won't be able to switch regions anymore.
