Quoted from this list and the CALICO list. I haven't tried any of them.

They've recently added the SMC player - and it is advertised as a converter as well as a code-free player (e.g., would play a PAL DVD out to an NTSC TV). The Sony, Pioneer and Toshiba players all require a PAL-compatible TV to display PAL DVDs. << >> a unit which reads all region codes as well as PAL and NTSC and outputs everything to NTSC. The company is I.N.C. Technologies in Hollywood. Website is http://www.inc-tech.com Phone number (323) 512-8730. I purchased 5 of the Infinity DVD model LD-2060 for $269.00 each plus $25 shipping (for all 5 - I am just 40 miles south of LA so folks further away should expect a larger shipping charge). << >> If you are interested in codefree DVD go to: http://www.dvdshippers.com A quote from their webpage: "This Raite AVPhile 715 DVD Player is an exceptional DVD Player perfect for International Buyers wanting to view movies from around the world. This player has been modified so it can be switched to any Region so that you can play dvds from ALL SIX REGIONS of the world. The AVPhile 715 will operate on either 110v or 220v and can output in PAL or NTSC to ALL Televisions!" <<
