DVD Region Issues
« on: January 17, 2010, 08:11:35 PM »
Hi there,

On this laptop I have the regions appear to be unchangeable, even though it has changes left, and has issues with playing certain DVDs.

I have been trying to find a place to download/install a decent version of DVDRegionFree 5.9 or some alternative. However it is immensely difficult to find, with a lot of download links being broken and such, and all I have managed to find so far is a pesky trial version that lets you play for only 15 minutes.

Any help with finding some decent unlocking software for this?

Cheers :)

Yep AnyDVD, have it running when you insert the DVD and it does not matter what region the disk is and what the drive is set to.

This is only free for 21 days though - marginally better than the current version I have of DVDRegionFree 5.9

option 1) Pay for it(it is worth it if you have lots of non-R4 DVDs).
option 2) Don't pay for it.

Like Caelum said, it is worth it.

I guess you could look at ripping it to your hdd and playing it off there. Something oldschool / free like DvdShrink maybe....
