As far as I know the problem is that it's not usually Vista that controls the region coding, but the DVD drive itself - Windows only reads what it's been set at (and changes it if it's wrong)

Although you can change the code 5 times before it gets locked, the only way of bypassing it completely is usually with a DVD Decryptor like AnyDVD
