Here is the freeware tool that allows you to "Skip" the limited times you
can switch Regions on your PC DVD player/writer.

http://www.dvd43.com/

Apparently does the job well.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] DVD Region Coding

as far as i can tell, they have a counter that will only change region a
certain number of times before it "locks" after 5 changes. not optimal.

there are are some products you can purchase that will supposedly cure this,
but i am looking for the less espensive and simple approach that we can
adopt across the institution.

this is not a problem for most students, its the faculty who are less adept
with technology. just looking for something more bulletproof...

thanks!

Hey Rick

I was under the impression that DVD-RW drives on PCs and Macs would handle
all regions. I be wrong?
