Huge home cinema/movie fan moving shortly to KL. Can anyone give me advice of DVD's/Blu-Rays available in Malaysia? Are they cut for content? Will I fall foul of any regulations importing movies via Amazon UK or US? If there are any regulations, in practice are they adhered to? Has anyone experience of doing this and can I expect any problems?

Also, are Blu-Ray players sold in Malaysia multi-zone? All of my existing BD discs are zone 2 (UK) and I know Malaysian discs are zone 1. Multi-region DVD capability is also very desirable as I have a mixture of Region 1, 2 and 4 discs! Any particular player recommendations?

Any advice on this general subject enormously appreciated!
