Can anyone help point me in the direction to obtain software for enabling permanent multi-region playback on my Powerbook.

Cheers

Bill

Hi There,

Firstly you will need to gather some information on your DVD drive, use this link to download a utility for gathering information about you DVD drive. Then post it`s findings here and I`ll see if I can help you.

You can change your region using this software, BUT you will need to find out if your drive is RPC-1. If it is you can use this software to change the Macintosh software player.

If your dirve is RPC-2 then don`t do anything until I can find a possible firmware for you, so that it can be changed to RPC-1. You can then use this software for region changes.

Regards

Hey there Verthy....!

I can tell you now, your our of your league here. You might very well know all there is to know about `Philips` players(although I am still getting on with my macro hack...) but, as well as being an electronics engineer I am a damn good Computer Analyst. I know most things to do with a computer that most people could never imagine.

P.S. Anyway, if your not going to add to this thread with any useful info then you had better stick to your bloody Philips DVD players, Ehh! I have got rid of my stupid Philips player and opted for the Hitachi(A much better alround player)
