<P>for those interested, the site <A href="http://www.yesasia.com">www.yesasia.com</A> has a large selection of Japanese and Chinese movies on VCD format, I picked up about 25 movies from them over the last year or so, and all of them play great on my DVD player as well as my computer (even without a DVD drive). VCDs are generally pretty cheap as well, so it's a good way to get hard to find stuff.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Yes. I wished I bought more when I was in HK. But I recently discovered from
<DIV></DIV>>David Desser that there are quite a few HK film video mail order places that
