[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 217687, member: 49539"] [b]*Quote removed due to revised forumrules about these types of SW*[/b] A word of caution here, many (if not all) new DVD drives have firmware that follows the region code of the inserted DVD through up to 5 changes and then remains locked on the last region used. The use of SW like [i](name of evil software :D -Spragleknas)[/i] is not likely to help here. There are firmware patches available for some drives which enable you to circumvent this, and there are also some programs which will allow you to set the region code manually. IIRC, a region code of 7 or 8 is used for ships and airplanes and should allow viewing of material from all regions. Unfortunately, thes patches and utilities are HW-specific, so you will have to search the internet for what you need in your particular case. There is also the risk of turning your DVD into a brick, if the patch or regoin-setting process doesn't work correctly. [/QUOTE]
