Multi Region DVD Playback Software
 

Hi all,

Im looking for a DVD playback software that doesnt lock itself down when you keep changing the regions..... at the moment, the software i have locks itself after you have changed the region 5 times, a re-installtion fixes this, but its a pain in the backside...

Any suggestions??

What DVD software are you using?

You can get a program called "DVD Region Free", which runs in the background & "de-regionalises" (as Russ would say ;) :) ) various DVD playback software (PowerDVD, Windows Media Player, WinDVD, etc etc).

Have a look at this thread: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=11900

DVD Region Free is available here: http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm

DVD genie - is supposed to stop programs like power dvd asking for you to change the region code.

And - be carfull with the re-installation thing - it doesn't ALWAYS reset the counter when you reinstall, my dvd rom drive for example is now on 2 changes remaining - and i've just done a full reformat.

SOME drives can have their firmware updated to be region free (Google your drive to see if you can do it to yours)

If you have a dvd writer you could 'back up' you OWN films (of course) with a program like dvd-shrink - which also converts the dvd to region free.
