| 448661 | 2006-04-23 02:32:00 | I've been searching for a way to make my DVD drive region free, and as I've found out this either requires changing the firmware, or some kind of software solution . I found the perfect software solution! But . . . (isn't there always a but?) It seems that the software (DVDSynth) is no longer available, or has been 'banned' . AnnaBlack writes "DVDSynth is a (currently prerelease) low-level driver tool that can sit between your physical DVD drive and any software that accesses it . So far so what, but the extremely clever thing about this is that it can filter the DVD data on the fly . The example applications included currently allow new subtitle sets to be provided for existing films (which could spawn a whole new activity for movie buffs!) but also a very neat little filter that will remove region codes on the fly from any DVD you play . Supplied with full sourcecode and programmers documentation . " Wonder how long before this is contraband code like DeCSS . BUT (yes there is another but!) it seems the source code is still available . But . . . (yes again) I have no way to compile the code or know if the code is actually the source of DVDSynth . So . . . this ( . nu/banned/DVDSynth/" target="_blank">pied . nu) is the link to the source, can anyone help me out? |

| 448664 | 2006-04-23 04:43:00 | I have VLC, I think the difference with this software is that it works with any dvd writing / playing software . So it acts as an intermediary between the dvd drive and any software that uses it . I think . So, I could use programs like DVD Shrink, without having to set a dvd region . I think . Does DVD Virtual CloneDrive do the same kind of thing? |
