de-coding , area restricted DVDs
Just recieved an Area 4 (Australia) DVD , I live in Area 1 (USA). wont play on my DVD/TV set up or my PC . anyone know a down-loadable program which will allow me to watch it without screwing my PC .
Also seem to remember reading somewhere a while ago that it was also possible to open up a DVD player and disable the 'restriction' chip to allow the playing of any area restriced DVD , anyone know how to do it ? thanks |

Re: de-coding , area restricted DVDs
Try www.dvdhacks.co.uk for your home player, software available for PC but I haven't got the links with me

Re: de-coding , area restricted DVDs
As KSH says, you can get rid of region restrictions on your DVD player easily enough by just entering an easily-located code on the DVD remote.
However. NTSC TVs and DVD players are notorious for being unable to handle PAL signals. You'll probably have to reauthor the DVD at NTSC resolution and framerate to get it to work on a bog-standard US setup. Note - the reverse is not true. If you send NTSC DVD to your Australian PAL, then as long as he can playback region 1 he'll likely have no problems with the NTSC standard. Contact me by PM if you want help getting the disc converted... Note - considering my business, I have to make some effort to preserving the copyright owner's rights- if you want me to convert the file, you need to convince me you have a justifiable reason for doing so... |

Re: de-coding , area restricted DVDs
you can also look here under dvd hacks to get codes for your dvd p;layer to make it play any region and its not illigal
VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists the same site will also show you how to rip the dvd to your computer and copy it to a blank dvdr with the region removed or region free as the correct term is which is perfectly legal for you to do as you own the origional and is absolutely fine for you to have a backup of your property try a program called dvd shrink as when you back up your dvd it gives you an option to remove the region code and it should then play on your dvd player,there are many other programs and te site i posted will show you a few ways to backup yuor origional dvd with step by step guides with pictures and links to teh software you need
