I just bought a dvd from the UK because it has video description. My macbook pro's dvd player wants me to change my dvd player region, and says that I can change it up to five times. Since I live in the states, I do not wish to do this. Does anyone know of any software that will rip the dvd regardless of region? Or perhaps even rip the dvd and let me deregion the files so that I can burn a dvd which will play on region 1 players.
The problem is that the drive itself is set to a region, and as you've already seen, they will only officially let you change it 5 times (then you're stuck with it).
All is not lost however. Apparently you can use software called Region X to play DVDs, *once* you've managed to make your drive region-free. This last point of course is the sticky one.
For the program Region X and some info about deregioning your drive, see http://xvi.rpc1.org/
Sorry, don't know any more than this. Good luck! Geoff. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
