Removing regions. Can anydvd be used to remove regions without backing up or copying the dvd?

Question

I live in New Zealand where the dvd region is 4 and i recently bought the ginger snaps box set but i had to get it imported from canada where the region is 1. I downloaded Anydvd but when i looked into it further it seems as if you have to copy/backup the dvd for the regions to be erased. i havnt recieved my dvds yet but il be getting them tomorrow and iv been trying to get my hands on them for 6 months!! Please help soon!

Answer 1

What are you playing the DVD on?

If you are playing on a standalone DVD player then most of them have a 4 code hack that you input to remove the region encoding allowing you to play any DVD.

If you are playing it via windows then use CSS Region Free

Once installed you can copy or just watch normally.

If you are using Mac OS X then it gets more complicated.

You need to replace the drive with something like  the Pioneer DVR-K05. You then need to flash the drive in a PC under Windows using something like Region X. After this you can put it back into your Mac but you then need to hack the Mack OS X.

Alternatively  instead of using the inbuilt Mac DVD player download and install VLC media player.

It is a shaky programme but just switch off all error warnings and it usually works fine.

VLC will play any region DVD.
