Post subject:  the DVD region 'thing'
What is the thing i need to mod my PC so it will play multi-region dvds? And if i buy a dvd player (in region 2 atm) will it play my region 4 discs? Is it the same thing for the PC as well as the dvd player?

please help :)

DVD drives don't conform to region crap! Any region should work upon them.
It's only on retail dvd players that it matters, and if you've got region 2, region 4 won't work.

Not sure whether it's due to the PAL format whilst America/Japan utilise another format of colour conversion, but it's something similar.

...but my PC is telling me i have 2 more changes before i can't change it again. :( Thats why im asking.

on my PC, i need to change the setting when i try to put a different region dvd in, so im after a fix for that.

and is there something i can get for the stand-alone dvd player to play dvds from these 2 regions? i havent bought one yet (though i have a cheap region 4 player, but i dont mind upograding). :)

80% of locked regions can be unlocked by a simple remote button combo.

try this for yoor player.
the folowing codes will turn your player into what is
called "region-free". If you require the player to be a single
region, for example region 1, then simply repeat the process and
replace the "0" with a "1". This may be required if you have trouble
playing DVDs purchased from outside the UK that have Region Code
Enhancement technology on them. These titles are in a minority and
you will find a substantial amount of titles will play without the
need to change region. Our recommendation is that you set the player
to region 0 and change to a specific region when the need arises.

Press system menu on remote control
Go to preference settings
Press 1,3,5,5,6,6
Press 0
Press system menu on remote to exit

in the middle of the article it has a link to download "dvd region killer" which is a small app which deletes the registry keys which are associated with the countdown timer... just install the program (freeware) - and you won't have to worry about remaining changes that you talk about... that's the solution for watching dvds on your pc.
