Not on a mac though, as far as I know. When I had a Powerbook, I couldn't find any way to make it region free. Has that changed?

- ObieJazz 18y agoI've been able to play European DVDs on my (N. American) Mac using VLC.
- chanux 18y agoThis is why I came back here VLC, the free software media player can play region encoded DVDs. I can make sure it DID that sometimes back. Never wanted to check it recently for some reason. For those who are lazy to google: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
- alain94040 18y agoOn a Mac you are allowed to change regions 5 times, total, over the lifetime of the computer. So the prime minister could have watched all 25 classic movies, if he didn't alternate with other films in between :-)
- hedgehog 18y agoDepends which drive is in it. Some of the older ones did region checks in hardware so you had to replace the firmware (that was the case on the original SuperDrive 12" PowerBook). On the current MacBooks the region check is in software so VLC works great.
