hey, i'm new to mac forums and not entirely sure if this is a stupid question but i'm going to ask it anyway. i have acquired a nice collection of dvds in my travels and studies abroad and would like to play them on my mac. i have used vlc a good deal in the past but recently have ran into some problems playing my region 2 dvds. i was wondering if anyone had any idea if there is now added security? is there a program out there other than vlc or can i somehow get dvd player to not be dvd region biased? i would appreciate any help on this. thanks guys and happy holidays.

i have tried to get this problem sorted as well but i haven't succeeded in getting it working but i think and have heard that vlc can do it and it is done by going into file open disc i have heard that and tried that but i got no where but my understanding is that ur dvd drive is set to only change a cirtian number of times and thats it but i think its possabe to use the likes of toast to get around it as it only mirrors the dvd but i got no where with that. i'm probably not useful but thats what i have to say might not be acurate
