Has anyone managed to get VLC to run region encoded DVDs on the C2D MBP's for any region? From what I read on a forum a while ago it seems that the drives on these new machines have some "feature" which lets them compare a DVDs region against a firmware setting they have set for a region and then, if the regions don't match, they will just spurt out gibberish. This means not even VLC will be able to get around region encoding ... some VLC people said this has to do with quick-time on OS X so I was hoping that VLC in linux could play any DVD but when I tried it I still couldn't play a region encoded DVD (I haven't yet picked a region for the drive in case this might interfere with an eventual hack so right now it won't play any region based DVD at all). I'd be interested in hearing what other people's experiences with this have been. Apparently not all the MBPs have these new drives but I think the majority do.
