[QUOTE="Juan Largo, post: 682051, member: 47345"] Okay, I'll try to be less cryptic. Here it goes ... but this will probably get this thread closed in a hurry. Windows and OSX both enforce the region code thing at the OS kernel level. This was a management decision by Microsoft and Apple. It is not surprising because both of those companies are very much involved with the entertainment industry. There are a few Windows software hacks that are designed to intercept the information read by the DVD drive before it gets to the OS, thus making it look like all DVDs are from the same region. AFAIK, nothing like that works on a modern Macintosh as long as OSX controls the DVD drive. Linux developers literally don't care what DVDs you play on your equipment, so Linux doesn't enforce region codes. If you install Linux on your Mac as a second OS, you could play DVDs from different regions without having to reset your DVD drive. [/QUOTE]
