DVD drives limited re foreign encodings?
This app sounds fantastic. But I wonder if there's a limit to its usefulness with regard to DVDs encoded for foreign markets.
DVD drives limited re foreign encodings?
The behavior you describe is true of all DVD drives in computers. The only reason you don't see the messages is because all drives come with the default region set to 1 for the USA. If you never play DVD's from another region you will never have to worry about the problem of changes on your drive. You have a maximum of five changes of region before the firmware on the mechanism has the fifth selection set in firmware so it can not be changed again. There are applications like Region X that allow you to make more changes than the normal five once you have removed the region protection from the drive. The best site for firmware cracks is www.firmware.fr.st. Here you will find cracks for most Mac installed DVD-ROM drives as well as DVD-R drives to make them region free.

To read and decrypt DVDs, VLC uses the libdvdcss library which does not care about the region code (unlike most commercial players). It should play all DVDs, whatever you drive's region is.
foreign encodings dont work
That should be the case, but it isn't. |
