Multi-region DVD software for PC, is there any?

[Rich 12]

Topic.

 

Just bought War of the Worlds Season 1 on Region 1 DVD boxset, it doesn't work on the built in DVD player of my HD telly, tried it on the PC and it seems to work in Windows Media Player if I change the region settings of my DVD ROM drive, you can only do that a limited number of times before the change is permanent though. Is there any dedicated multi-region DVD player software available for PC? Preferably for free?

Media player classic should play it.Part of Klite http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm get the standard version It is way better than media player too.You might also find you can change your DVD on your telly to any region by putting a code in. Try google for that Hmmm edited sorry about that.

Give VLC a crack too. Thats a bloody good bit of software.

none of the above will do it.

 

you may be able to find a rom flash for your DVD Drive (careful, you can kill your drive) which will make it region 0 (multiregion) - OR Why not just buy another drive (they cost like £12 now), have one as region 2 and one as region 1 - problem solved

Most systems have a special code you enter via your TV/DVD remote that changes your DVD player to multi-region.

 

Since you've not provided the make then you'll have to find it yourself

I use VLC media player for all dvds, whatever region. It works for me.

You may find the code for your TV/DVD here. http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/info/multiregion/

Don't you need to run a program to bypass the region coding of your DVD ROM drive?

 

I recall one called DVD GENIE did this. It bypassed the region coding and started up your DVD software without prompting to change the region coding.

do slysoft still sell AnyDVD?

Yep - it seems so

 

AnyDVD

AnyDVD is a Windows-based driver that works automatically in the background to unprotect encrypted movie DVDs. AnyDVD works best with CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile

 

This is good as it lets you play any region on your PC dvd player, and you can skip all the tedious trailers and idents that normally you have to sit through.
