Region Free DVD software?

Shred87 · 07-31-2010, 09:54 PM

Can anyone reccomend anything free out there?

I use the VLC media player for region 4 dvds and it works great... for whatever reason though if I play a region 2 dvd the picture doesnt come in clear... was using the DVD xplayer to view region 2 dvds but the trial ran out. Werid thing was that while the X player plays Region 2 discs perfectly the sound on Region 4 was sh*tty so Im not going to buy the full version. Anyone got anything good?

I haven't used it with DVDs outside of region 1, but you could give Media Player Classic a try.

I was under the impression that region locks were a hardware thing.

Wish I could help with software, but I just ended up buying a dvd player that can be unlocked, in terms of region.

Sooooo many region 2 Godzilla and Gamera movies.

You can change the region of your computer DVD player a fixed amount of times, though it's been a while since I've done such a thing. You could try googling that.

When I Googled it it said it had gone free... if it hasn't I dunno. I think there are other similar programs, though.
