DVD Region Code Free Firmware for DVD-R UJ-816

[Wilson Ng]

I work around it by going to Systems Preferences > CDs & DVDs and change the
default action "When you insert a video DVD" to "Ignore" or have it open
VLC.

VLC can play any region DVD without resetting the drive region.

I have VLC and DVD Player on my dock so it is easy to access either
application. For my US DVDs, I use DVD player. For foreign DVDs, I just
launch VLC.

I'm assuming that you would want to play any region DVD. VLC is the easiest
solution without tampering with firmware.
