So my question is, how can I set the drive to be region free so I can play my DVDs from region 1 and other regions?
The idea of the DVD region code is to make sure you cannot play the DVDs you legally did buy at foreign.
Isn't this really a dead duck? For one thing, any-region DVD players have been available for at least 16 years (based on my personal experience), for another, isn't the DVD market slowly dying or virtually dead already?
But my advice is always: if you really think you need to watch blueraydiscs on a PC buy a second player and set it to the second region. Buy a third one and set it to the third region.
Buy a Pioneer any-region player. We've had two so far, works very well. The current one is a DV-696-AV, I bought it 2nd hand for CHF15.
I bought the first such DVD player in Mediamarkt around 2002 - I asked the shop assistant about the multi-region feature, and she pulled out a sheet of A4 paper with the code and the instructions for how to disable to region-check. With the 2nd Pioneer player, it was disabled by default.
Well, it depends if the import rules of the US (provided he is from the US) or the import rules of the country he is in allow the sales of this products.
Ah yes, that is true, I forgot. ISTR reading that disabling the region check for players in the US involved getting out a soldering iron. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.3°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
