• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

no, I don't think handbrake is. I tried it on some Japanese DVD's, and I don't think it recognised the DVD.

VLC has region free playback, if that's what you're after Syslik.

Dvd region free

this one, has come up since i started using a mac
and VLC always comes as a reply, but the simple truth is
a mac drive is set to one region at a time with up to six changes
only.

therefore the mac won't let you use anything other than drive your machine is set to, in my experience it kicks out VLC also with most discs preventing playback.

unless you 'flash' the drive which i beleive invalidates your warranty, and is downright dangerous then you are stuck on one region.

if anyone knows any better let us know :black:
