gmark at cogeco.ca: >Is there a hack to disable DVD >region coding for my PowerBook? I understand that you can change a player's region code up to five times. After that you might try to download new firmware (which may or may not be available for your player). DVDbackup (e.g. http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18599) can copy without region code so you can even play the movie from your harddisk, or copy it to another region code. The program is well documented, and gave me much needed pointers about other protections besides region coding. yrs, Eduard.
