| 606798 | 2007-11-01 02:43:00 | If you don't mind taking a chance and voiding your warranty you can also look for 3rd party firmware for the DVD Drive to make it region free, there are many sites out there that deal with this. Try searching on the model of your laptop, or even better it's drive and include the phrase "region free" or "RPC1" From memory RPC1 = region free RPC 2 = single region There are two types of region protection on a PC, hardware protection in the firmware of the drive, and software protection in the player. I'm not sure if DVD Genie deals with the hardware type of protection or not. I went through all this once and got it working, but decided I never need to read any other regions DVD's anyway and gave up on it. |
