And there is a hack for my ancient Philips DVP642 DVD player. Yay! Also, my Infocus LP70 computer projector will do PAL (different than NTSC, my main worry). I may have to temporarily pull my closed-captioned-for-the-hearing-impaired box out of the loop.

That is good to know, as fallback if the DVD player and computer projector don't work as expected. Thanks to you, John, Jim, and other helpful responders. --- I can order that German DVD with confidence that one of two options will work. I'll tell you how it goes. Perhaps I will invite folks over for Rocket Drama Movie Night and the premiere Oregon screening of "Baikonur". BTW, OT, our movie night two weeks ago was "3 Idiots", a Hindi comedy based on Chetan Bhagat's loosely autobiographical novel "5 Point Someone". This is about college students struggling to survive at the Indian Institute of Technology, and laugh- your-ass-off funny. Geek humor at its best! Hollywood, not so much.
