...this http://www.movieberry.com/plaza_suite/ from this site and then burn to disc.

I can purchase the film but only in region 1 format but the dvd player is region 2 and has no hack that i can find.

As it's an American site... will the download play on a region 2 player?

That will be ok to download as the format is in an AVI file and not a region format. You could watch it on your computer using Divx or burn to a disc to watch on a DVD player.

Purchasing from the above site isn't what i thought it was.

Can anyone recommend a site where i can download " Plaza Suite" starring Walter Matthau?

I only want this one film as a present...i don't want to join a club.

Video downloads from iTunes are protected by Digital Rights Management so you can't burn them directly to DVD.

If you google something like "burn itunes video to dvd" it comes up with some websites with instructions on how to remove the DRM protection and so the video can be burned to DVD. However I've never done this myself so can't comment on how effective or easy this is....

It seems to involve downloading an applications that can remove the DRM protection, then you'll need another application that can create a DVD from the DRM-free video file. This is not the same as just copying the video to a blank DVD as most DVD players need additional information to play the video.

The other way is the illegal and free route and download the movie from a torrent site. If you google the movie name with "torrent" you should get a number of these and you'll need a bit torrent client to download the file. Torrent downloads are usually in AVI format so like the iTunes route, you'll need a DVD burning application that can create a readable DVD from this file format. I've no particular recommendations for applications but I'm sure someone else should have.

The movie industry doesn't make it easy to obtain films you want in the format you want...
