Hasn't the region decoding been cracked yet and made available to the open source community(DECSS or summit)? When can we expect to see it in SuSE?
The region thing isn't an encryption or encoding. It's just a number. It is enforced by the player software, which checks if the number in the player matches the number on the disc. It isn't something you have to get around, you just don't do it. As far as I know, no player software for linux does it I have never had a problem with region 1 DVDs on my system, which has always been firmly located in region 2
