Argentina Retailers :

The sites that appear to accept international orders (Info. as of march05,02 based on what I could determine via language-translation sites) :

º http://www.dvdventas.com.ar/

if you click on "Ayuda", you are taken to a "Preguntas Frecuentes"(, i.e. FAQ) In it, there is mention of different methods of payment that are accepted. Towards the bottom of the page under the title "Zona Geográfica Días hábiles para la entrega" is a list of what countries to which dvdventas will ship. Therefore, this list seems to indicate shipping to all parts of the world. But I could not find a part of the site that lists specific shipping&handling fees. I also could not determine what is the significance of the click-able list of Latin American countries on the title page (Info. last updated on March05,02)

º http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/

"Formas de Pago" is forms of payment; "Preguntas Frecuentes" is Frequent Questions". If you click on "Preguntas Frecuentes" and then "Compras", you'll find more information on both handling of credit card information & ordering (more information on this can also be found here: http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/terminos.html ), and wording that leads to the assumption that international orders are accepted : "y 35 pesos a países del resto del mundo" or "35 pesos to countries of the rest of the world". Further information (though still vague regarding international orders) can be found here: http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/s-cart/...s-exterior.html (Note: using http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/Medio.html seems to cause the site to load incorrectly with a lot of the site missing) (Info. last updated on March05,02)

º http://www.musimundo.com or http://www.musimundo.com/librosol/inicio.cfm

(The site for me loads VERY slowly. Aside from that, I'm impressed with the layout/arrangement of the site and its contents. There's an FAQ/Help section if you click on the "?"-icon in the upper right corner. There's a table half-way down the page detailing the shipping&handling fees to different parts of the world (It appears that this site delivers worldwide) )

The Argentina retailers that do not seem to have any identifiable or clear statement or information regarding international orders :

º http://www.dvdnext.com.ar/

seems to be incomplete or at least not operating correctly (Info. last updated on March05,02)

º http://www.lk-tel.com.ar or http://www.lk-tel.com.ar/home.asp

The only information regarding international orders that I could find was under "FAQ"-link. With a rough translation of the text under "Cómo debo de hacer para abrir una cuenta en Lk-Tel si quisiera poner un videoclub?: ", it appears that this site is a club that you must join first. And that each potential order is dealt with on a case-by-case basis depending on the location. (Info. last updated on March05,02)

Australia Retailers :

• For the Australian retailers that offer shipping by DHL (http://www.dhl.com.au/),
here is a brief explanation of it as offered by http://store.yahoo.com/dvdcrave-au/info.html#Ordering :
"When choosing DHL (http://www.dhl.com.au/) there are several advantages.
Obviously the major benefit is the speed of the delivery which is 2 Days to most Capital Cities
all around the world. Also the tracking system which allows you to see exactly where you order is in transit, and when to expect it. With DHL (http://www.dhl.com.au/), a signiture and name is required when being delivered, so this will also prevent any lost and stolen parcels. From a safety and security point of view, DVD Crave recommend you chose DHL International Express as your delivery option."

Price-comparison sites

Price Comparison for Retailers in Australia :

º http://www.dvdplaza.com.au/

º http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk/ (It appears that this site allows price-checks for Region's 1 (U.S.&Canada), Region 2, Region 3, and Region 4. The site also has *some* ratings for the different suppliers. There is also a huge list of UK suppliers)

Price Comparison for Retailers in Canada :

º http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk/ (It appears that this site allows price-checks for Region's 1 (U.S.&Canada), Region 2, Region 3, and Region 4. The site also has *some* ratings for the different suppliers. There is also a huge list of UK suppliers)

º http://www.dvdupdate.com/ (Three options: 1) Compare prices for U.S./Canadian dvds being sold by U.S., Canadian, AND UK retailers 2) Compare prices for UK dvds being sold by UK retailers 3) Option #3 combines Option#1 AND Option#2 Note: It appears that this site only includes a VERY limited number of U.S. and Canadian retailers during its price-comparison-searches)

Price Comparison for Retailers in Denmark :

º http://www.dvdpriser.dk/
(I haven't had any time to explore what all this site offers. But after stumbling around, it appears as though you can proceed straightaway to price-comparing by clicking on "DVD-Film Region 2". Then, type in the name of the title for which you're looking beside "Søgeord", and then click on "Top 10" underneath "Info" to get a list of the 10 cheapest prices for that title.)

Price Comparison for Retailers in France :

http://www.dvdpascher.net/

º http://www.getprice.de/ http://www.getprice.de/dvd-de/

(Apparently the site will price-check 20 on-line German retailers for a particular title)
(There seem to be some differences between these two sites)

º http://www.schnellkauf.de/
(At the top of the page, you can click on "shops" to proceed to a list of 29 or so retailers. When you do this and proceed to that list, you can click on "Versanddetails" to view some details on that retailer such as accepted forms of payment along with some other details that are not clear to me due to the rough translation from altavista)

or

(Click on "dvd" to proceed to another page. Now, you can either proceed straightaway with price-comparing by simply typing in a title in the blank space or you can click on one of the commands. Here, with (rough) translations done by me with altavista, are what the commands will do:

(Click on "Best Buy" to see "The current TOP good deals, whose price particularly deviates from the cut")
(Click on "billig" to see a list of titles whose price lies between the two monetary values (from 0 to 75 EUR and from 5 to 80 EURO) which are adjustable by you)
(Click on "preisrutsch" to see a list of the "price reductions [that] were found in the last 7 days")
(Click on "hilfe" for help)
(Click on "standard" to return to price-comparing for a particular title which can be entered inside the blank space)

International Price Comparison :

º http://www.dvdupdate.com/ (Three options: 1) Compare prices for U.S./Canadian dvds being sold by U.S., Canadian, AND UK retailers 2) Compare prices for UK dvds being sold by UK retailers 3) Option #3 combines Option#1 AND Option#2 Note: It appears that this site only includes a VERY limited number of U.S. and Canadian retailers during its price-comparison-searches)

"You can use a program like DVDSubber. It will overlay fan-made subtitles while watching the DVD on your computer. [...] The timing on the subtitles is a little off (1-2 seconds). Perhaps it was my inexperience in using the program, but the timing might be fixed with a little tweaking."

"Just wondering if anyone out there knew of a repository for timed scripts. Most everything I've found on the 'net relates to anime. I'm more interested in action movies i.e. the Japanese/Chinese dialogue in 'Crying Freeman'."
