Hugo Weaving @ Random Scribblings is an unofficial fansite dedicated to talented Australian actor Hugo Weaving. The site has a large gallery with screencaps, magazine stills and the latest candids, an extensive multimedia section, and detailed information and the latest news on Mr. Weaving and his career. Hopefully you enjoy the website as much as I enjoy making it!

Hugo Weaving @ Dreams of Heaven was originally launched in 2004 after discovering Mr. Weaving's talent on the Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies. After that first 'meeting' I found out that those two projects were only the tip of the iceberg of Mr. Weaving's extensive career and decided to create my own tribute to him and his work. The site expanded and became Hugo Weaving @ Random Scribblings in April 2006.

Technical FAQ

Technical things one might want to know when wanting to buy DVDs and VHSs.

Since not all of Hugo's movies are available everywhere around the world, I thought it might be useful to give you some hints regarding DVD and VHS formats.

There are some sites with instructions on how to switch your DVD player to region-free, but if you are thinking about buying an new DVD player anyway, make sure that it is multi-region or region-free. If you are buying a new VCR player you might want to consider one that will play both NTSC and PAL formats. That should handle all of Hugo's films.

DVD Region Encoding

Each DVD-Video disc contains one or more region codes, denoting the area[s] of the world in which distribution and playback are intended. The commercial DVD-Video player specification dictates that a player must only play discs that contain its region code. In theory, this allows the motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release (including content, date and price) on a region-by-region basis. In practice, many DVD players allow playback of any disc, or can be modified to do so. Entirely independent of encryption, region coding pertains to regional lockout, which originated in the video game industry.

Listed below are the six regions:

1. U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, and Bermuda
2. Japan, Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East, including Egypt
3. Southeast Asia, East Asia, including Hong Kong
4. Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/South America and the Caribbean
5. Former Soviet Union, Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia
6. China

European Region 2 DVDs may be sub-coded "D1" through "D4." "D1" identifies a UK-only release. "D2" and "D3" identify European DVDs that are not sold in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. "D4" identifies DVDs that are distributed throughout Europe.

Any combination of regions can be applied to a single disc. For example, a DVD designated Region 2/4 is suitable for playback in Western Europe, Oceania and any other Region 2 or Region 4 area. A so-called "Region 0" disc (actually coded Region 1/2/3/4/5/6) is meant to be playable worldwide.

The term "Region 0" also describes DVD players that were designed or modified to incorporate Regions 1-6 simultaneously, thereby providing compatibility with virtually any disc, irrespective of region[s]. This apparent solution was popular in the early days of the DVD format, but studios quickly responded by adjusting discs to refuse to play in such machines. This system is known as "Regional Coding Enhancement" or RCE.

Nowadays, many "multi-region" DVD players defeat regional lockout and RCE by automatically identifying and matching a disc's region code and/or allowing the user to manually select a particular region. Others simply bypass the region code check entirely. Some manufacturers of DVD players now freely supply information on how to disable regional lockout, specialist websites such as DVD-Unlock contain a free code database for specific models and on some recent models it appears that RCE is disabled by default. CSS decrypting software is also available which allows a region-specific DVD to be copied as an all-region DVD.

Many view region code enforcement as a violation of WTO free trade agreements; however, no legal rulings have yet been made in this area.

International VHS Formats

VHS can record and play back all varieties of analogue television signals in existence at the time VHS was devised. However, a machine must be designed to record a given standard. Typically, a VHS machine can only handle signals of the country it was sold in. The following signal varieties exist in conventional VHS:

* PAL/625/25 (most of Western Europe, many parts of Asia and Africa)
* SECAM/625/25 (SECAM, French variety)
* MESECAM/625/25 (most other SECAM countries, notably Eastern Europe and Middle East)
* NTSC/525/30 (Most parts of North and South America, Japan, South Korea)
* PAL/525/30 (i.e. PAL-M, Brazil)

Since the 1990s dual- and multistandard VHS machines have become more and more common. These can handle VHS tapes of more than one standards. E.g. regular VHS machines sold in Europe nowadays can typically handle PAL, MESECAM for record and playback, plus NTSC for playback only. Dedicated multistandard machines can usually handle all standards listed, some high end model can even convert a tape from one standard to another by using a built-in standards converter.
