Beats being limited to one application IMO - But DVD X Player still looks like a good buy. I had the opportunity to Beta Test the software, but that was right after I'd had a friend pay for DVD Region-Free for me :D

259454 2004-08-09 01:14:00 They will work with this:
Mustek from DSE (www.dse.co.nz)

259456 2004-08-09 01:19:00 Check out www.videohelp.com which gives hacks on disabling region and sometimes macrovision (depending upon make/model). Usually a particular sequence on your remote.

I made my Mustek DVD Player both region and macrovision free using a hack.

259457 2004-08-09 01:40:00 As above, we tried a new DSE mustek but the menu option was missing.

I had one of the old ones myself but had to get it replaced and lost the macrovision option.

Yup, I believe thats all the retailers do when they offer to de-regionalise for a fee. Supposedly some need a 'special' remote although Ive never heard of it not working using a standard remote.

259460 2004-08-11 02:14:00 I know how to get into the hidden menu on the mustek players. The problem is the macrovision option (4000) is not there in the newer players so it can't be turned off. bmason (508)
259461 2004-08-11 11:21:00 Mustek sux if ur looking for these things. buy those kmart ones i forgot the name. but they are as good as mustek ones and warehouse ones. u can remove macrovision and pluse update its firmware so u can hav new features Gum Digger (5187)
