Re: making dvd player in the newest incarnation of the mackbook pro region free
You'll have to rip the DVD first and then use something like DVDBackup 1.3 which will remove region encoding, macrovision and encryption. The program is very old but still launches and the UI appeared to be accessible. Give it a try. I had to google around a bit to find a download link. Here was one: http://mac.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=4900file=9evp=8e48358f3bc7daf2ddd1a4a145cf6c49 CB Bryan Smart wrote: Sorry, but that isn't possible, by design.

That's the whole point of region control, so they can control what each region can see, when they can see it, and how much they'll pay to see it.

Re: making dvd player in the newest incarnation of the mackbook pro region free
This is very possible. I've done it for ages. Download VLC, it's free and open source, pretty usable too. then go to system prefs and where it says CdS/DVDs open that and next to when you insert a video dvd in the pop up hit ignore. Now open VLC to play your DVDs. still legal and you won't use up your region switching on the mac drive. :) On 7 May 2010, at 17:57, Chris Blouch wrote: You'll have to rip the DVD first and then use something like DVDBackup 1.3 which will remove region encoding, macrovision and encryption.

Re: making dvd player in the newest incarnation of the mackbook pro region free
Hi. I have no first hand experience with this, but I've heard that vlc ignores region coding on DVDs. I heard that a long time ago, so it may not still be the case. Worth a try though.
