[LMB] AKICTOT:L Dvd players (was If civilization fell)

[Thomas Vinson]

Does anyone have experience with inexpensive* region-free
dvd players that also convert television formats (specifically
PAL to NTSC)?  (See http://www.dvdoverseas.com/dvd.htm
for examples.)  Any recommendations or dire warnings?

I'm looking for a way to play obscure Russian videos on
our venerable TV set.

[*] all right, cheap!
