Don not change code in machine find somewhere else to view... or be
aware of how many times you have done change, as it is 5 before it
will lock on final code.. Can be rectified by Apple service centre 5
times legally???
Return DVD and inform store of such an issue, although these days it
does not make much difference as most DVD players are not so
restricted. But they may have a region 4 copy of your disc, and yes
technically the shop is breaching some sort of copyright or something
similar.
Rip the DVD through MacTheRipper and change the region code of ripped
DVD and burn back to a DVD or play from stored area on machine. Sorry
do not have URL for program as it has shifted site or closed down, try
MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
Mac the Ripper has been shut down due to Macrovision having a dummy
spit over the legality of the program. Check out the Mac forums on:
