How can I make my laptop DVD player region free?

best dvd player region free image

Darren W

I have a Packard Bell A8 Easynote laptop with a Philips +-RW SDVD8431 DVD drive. Is there some way to make the dvd player region free? I only have one more change left before I am locked out.

Answer
It can depend on the age of your DVD rom.
Have a look at the following website

Especially the section
How to bypass DVD region code protection ?
'VideoLan player' and 'remote selectors' are pieces of software which may help.

Hope this helps

Where can I find a cheap dvd player that has region free hacks available?

Amanda

For my birthday I got a ton of great dvds that I've wanted forever... sadly, they are region 2 dvds. (There was no way they could be found in Region 1, we looked EVERYWHERE.) Unfortunately my dvd player doesn't have any region free hacks. Everyone has been telling me how easy it is to just buy some cheap dvd player and turn it region free. Well, I can't find any!!
Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably cheap (under $70) dvd player that has region free hacks available?

Thanks!

P.S. If someone can show me a link to where I can buy one online that would be great, but I don't mind trekking to get it. (I live in Ottawa, so it has to be a Canadian store if it's not available online.)

Answer
Make a note of what models are available at local stores, like. Walmart, Canadian Tire, Superstore (Loblaws?). Then check for that model at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks (or just google the model number and region free).

However, I think the best solution is to make a copy of the DVD, since that removes the region encoding altogether. Then you can play the DVD on any player, not just the region-free one. If you really have a ton of DVDs, this may not be practical.
