DVD region codes

2010-02-24 Thread Andrew Schox

Hi all,

Is there any way to play DVDs from different regions without invoking that 
horrible little dialog that only gives you a few chances to change the DVD 
player's region code?

This is on a new MacBook.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew.

I believe this was discussed recently on the list and although I can't remember 
what was said your answers should still be available through the archive.

Hi Andrew

Unfortunately not through Apple DVD Player. You can try and hack the
hardware with certain software, but I've never recommended this or tried it
myself, as if it goes wrong during the process, you can fry your drive. (Not
worth the risk I tend to think).
Once work around is to not have DVD player launch on load (System
Preferences - CDs  DVDs then under When you insert a video DVD you change
this to ignore).
Then once the DVD is mounted (which doesn't affect the region code issue),
you find the VIDEO_TS folder, and look for the largest file. You can then
play this in VLC.  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Sure, you don't get all the bells and whistles. But you get to watch the
movie part without worrying about region codes and locking your DVD Player
to another region. :o)

WAMUG ***AGM*** Details Reminder: 02 March 2010 (Please do not reply)

2010-02-24 Thread Pete Smith
G'day all.

Hope you have all set your iCals for next Tuesday, 2 March 2010 for the WAMUG 
Annual General Meeting and monthly meeting.

All the positions on the committee are up for nominations including the office 
bearers.

So, what is involved I hear some ask?

The main office bearer positions are the same as for most similar committees in 
that there is a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and also a Vice President. 
Then there are a number of committee member positions that vary depending, 
naturally, on how many people volunteer. Currently, WAMUG only has four active 
committee members! In other words, the office bearers have been bearing the 
whole load. When you consider those four great people lead extremely busy daily 
lives, they have done an absolutely fantastic job. (By the way, I'm not a 
committee member so I'm not blowing my own trumpet) However, it's unfair to 
depend just on them. 

This is your chance to help. If you can't be or don't want to be an office 
bearer, please consider still nominating to be a committee member. The more we 
can get, the more WAMUG can get done and the more work can be shared, resulting 
in actually less for an individual committee member to do!  Well, so the theory 
goes.

Committee Meetings.

The committee meets on the Tuesday night, a fortnight following the WAMUG 
monthly meeting, in South Perth. You might not be able to make every meeting 
and that's fine. Even if, for example, you could only make every second 
committee meeting, I'm sure there would be no problem. 

The more committee members there are, as I said, the more can get done. The 
more ideas for monthly meetings, training sessions, membership recruitment, 
fund raising and so on.

Why not put your hand up and give it a go. New faces and new ideas can only 
help. We all get so much help from the mailing list and also the monthly 
meetings but if we didn't have a committee...

The WAMUG Web Site.

Not able to be a committee member but still want to help?

WAMUG really needs someone to look after the Web Site. All you need is a bit of 
time to spare for the job and a smattering of web savvy. I am reliably 
informed that there is not that much to know because the site is running under 
Wordpress. (Last time I used a word press, I put the letters in back-to-front 
and the ink leaked all over the paper and gummed up the rollers!!!)

The Monthly Meeting.

Immediately following the AGM will be the usual monthly meeting.

The topics for discussion are, in no particular order:

1.   Bento revisited: we'll look specifically to see what version 3 is doing.
2.  Web Sites for the rest of us. We'll have a look at some easy-to-use tools 
for making effective web sites, specifically the no-brainer Sandvox and Flux. 
Both are Mac-specific Cocoa applications which depart from the traditional 
approach used by tools like Dreamweaver.

Plus of course the usual question and answer open forum and don't forget a 
cuppa and biscuits at the end. (Oh! And the mandatory lock-in by security at 
the end of the night - you've had to be there to get that one!!!)

(Details are subject to change without notice)

If you can only come to one meeting this year - make it the Annual General 
Meeting - 2 March 2010


Location: Geology building 312, Curtin University, Bentley.
Time:   7.30pm - 9.00pm
 WAMUG meets in the large meeting room just inside the front door of 
the building 

Vist http://properties.curtin.edu.au/discover/maps/index.cfm to view a 
detailed map.
Download a PDF of the Curtin map from 
http://properties.curtin.edu.au/maps/docs/campus_map.pdf.
Streetsmart map ref: 403 E4 (When entering Curtin University from either the 
north or south entrance, at the roundabout, head east on Brand Drive. Bldg 312 
is near the bus terminal)

See you there.

Hi...

It still seems stupid to me that the $80 DVD player from JB Hi Fi comes
with a firmware patch to remove the region coding in line with the ACCC
ruling, but that $X000 Macs restrict you from playing the DVD's you
bought legally from overseas. Sigh.

Re: DVD region codes

2010-02-24 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Shay,

I agree, this is silly to me, and from how I understand this Region Limits 
Apple imposes, is illegal in Australia.

In Australia most (all?) Standalone DVD players will play discs from any 
region. It's the DVD drives in computers that observe region locking. 
Its illegal to sell region locked DVD players in this country. 
In 2005 the result of a landmark ACCC case in which the High Court of Australia 
ruled that region lockouts breached fair trade and market competition 
practices. 
http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/HCA/2005/58.html

If you can get Apple to take that ruling seriously let me know. 

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: DVD region codes

2010-02-24 Thread Ronda Brown
Hi James,

How I understand the setting of the DVD Region Code, if when you first purchase 
a new Mac, you insert a Region 0 DVD, which presumably will set the drive as 
Region 0. You would be able to play Region 0 DVDs, but when you go to play a 
different region DVD, say Region 4 (which is Australia), you would be asked to 
change the region of the drive to Region 4.

That's how I understand it anyway.

A solution would be to copy the DVDs in iDVD (our Apple programme to create 
DVDs) as it makes disks with no Region Code, so Region Code 0.

Cheers,
Ronni

top ten worst Apple products

2010-02-24 Thread Peter Bull


I subscribe to the PC Authority online magazine and they have come up  
with Apple's ten worst products. I think they are being a  bit harsh.


http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/167240, top-10-worst-apple-products- 
of-all-time.aspx


There is also a link to 32 reasons why PC's are better than Macs I  
have read it and it is quite an old article. Strangely enough, it  
seems like the tables have turned - remember 10 or so years ago we Mac  
fans had to justify why Macs were better...It seems now that PC fans  
are squirming. Aaah, revenge is so sweet.

Apple USB Modem

2010-02-24 Thread Craig Bruce

Just wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get myself an apple usb 
modem? Funny I'd be asking this but they are a bit hard to come by these days 
and I don't trust Originals from hong kong

Craig, although they are hard to find actually listed, I bought one  
just a few months back from shelf stock from T4, the local Albany  
Apple Store.  Others may have them tucked away.  It works fine.
