Got my copy of the DVD yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Really let's you know what kind of "crazies" we deal with around here. Anyone that likes CBG should get a copy and watch it. Show it to you friends, they won't think you are quite so nuts anymore. I know I will view it many times.
You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments!
The region free DVD will play on your computer. As suggested by Tres Seaver, some DVD players can convert an NTSC input to a PAL output which is likely what your TV needs. This would be a special feature however and not a standard feature on all DVD players.
Years ago I held a job where I had to send VHS tapes to locations all over the world. My content was produced in NTSC and I had to make copies of it in PAL and SECAM using a special recorder. I haven't had to think about these issues in recent years until now. It's just another indication of the international nature of the CBG community.
Unfortunately, "Songs Inside The Box" is only available in the NTSC format at this time.

I notice from the evilBay links posted here that the DVD, although region free, is in NTSC format. Is there one available in PAL format?
Three options I can think of:
- It would be possible (and legal) for a person to rip a legitimately-purchased NTSC disk to a digital format and re-encode from there to PAL. I haven't done this, and it might get messy, but should be doable.
- Watch the NTSC disc on your computer.
- Many DVD players can explicitly support both formats.
If you've been waiting for the opportunity to purchase a DVD of "Songs Inside The Box," they are now available through Bill Jehle's Cigar Box Guitar Emporium on ebay.com:
sorry everyone, am in Australia and postage is a bit, and as i said, i'm pretty broke, will try to save up for it, but hey, nothing wrong with a caring and sharing community is there???
cheers
Yes, for some reasom the DVD is not readily available. Took me a while to find one to order. I don't know who is running the show on selling them but maybe they will jump in here and let people know an easy way to get a DVD.
