Very nice feature, unfortunately, I have to stick with AnyDVD in order to get the drive region-free.
Maybe I don't get it, but what does one have to do with the other? You are comparing a feature to make your drive quieter to the removing of dvd region codes?
Apples and Oranges?
anydvd has a built-in function to slow-down selected drives. nevertheless, anydvd can sometimes cause a few hiccups while playing a disc with this function on.
