Play DVDs from any region
This will not work all the time. It depends on the drive in your computer. Some drives work fine doing this, some (MATSHITA in particular) won't let VLC run if the region code isn't set properly on the drive. And guess what drive ends up in portable, moving around, and traveling laptops?? (>_<)
Play DVDs from any region
I can't say anything about all ibook/powerbooks but my ibook (1ghz 12") works fine with VLC and non-US region dvds. I purchase asian dvds a great deal, and not all of them are region 1 or 0. It is confirmed to have a mashita drive as well.

I have no problem with foreign DVDs on VLC on either my dual G5, my mactel box, nor my powerbook.

Definitely doesn't work on my iBook with a Matshita CD-RW CW-8124 normally set for region 2.

The Matshita CW-8124 also won't override region encoding on a PC for the same reason. There are two simple solutions, but neither is free. You can add an external DVD drive that can be flashed or over-ridden (Any Pioneer brand will do), or replace the Matshita drive with a notebook version of the Pioneer (DVR-K05).

There might be a solution to that. Sometimes I stick the disc in and force quit the DVD player -- but the DVD disappears from the Finder menu. |
