Region code unlock

I told my Aunt (and my parents) that she shouldn't buy DVDs while she was here, because chances are she won't be able to play them when she gets home. I TOLD HER! Because she always buys good brand name products and they are always the hardest to unlock.

Just got a call. The DVD she bought here doesn't work, can I help? GAH! *dramatic flail*

Of course now mum is looking at me hopefully, but my google!fu is not finding an unlock code and there likely isn't one. But just in case...

Does anyone know if there is an unlock code for the Toshiba D-R410KU DVD player/recorder?

You lovely flisties do surprise me at times and it's wonderful! :)

Podfic query

I've been downloading some podfic of late (having great fun comparing accents and reading styles) and I can't help but notice that there are very few comments on most of them.

Is there a different fandom etiquette when it comes to podfic to other fandom works? Are the comments going elsewhere or (as I sadly suspect) are people just lame about bothering to leave comments? Or is it that the podfics are posted and reposted in so many comms that the comments are just very spread out?

From reading topics on how to podfic it looks like an awful lot of effort that goes into them, so it'd be sad if nobody acknowledges it even with a thank you, downloading type comment.

Edit: After chatting to a few people, it seems if you comment directly on the archive it may not get to the reader. So following the link backs is better. Just in case anyone was wondering.
