[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 150340, member: 10090"] I believe you started off with a slightly anti mac tone. "It is funny how difficult it is to remove regional coding on Macs when this is not a problem on PCs. With PCs, you can download region-free software from one of dozens of sites and immediately play DVDs from any region. I've done this many a time. Another case of Apple's not being quite so customer friendly?" AptMunich replied saying "Same way there is a truckload of garbage for PC's (viruses, spyware, malware, etc) and none for macs. (This is also helped by the fact that OS X is just securer than windows)." This is 100% true. The first sentence is proven fact. The second was more of an opinion, but one that is generally shared by knowledgeable computer users. OS X IS more secure than Windows. We weren't Windows bashing. I get pissed whenever I see that, or mac bashing, because typically I see equal amounts of both of it. It's crap. Jonster, I havn't taken the time to read through all the suggestions, so I apologize. But, have you tried going into system preferences, then to CDs and DVDs, and making sure it's set to have the right program play DVDs? Also, is there anything in the DVD Player or VLC player preferences related to this. Did Brendan67's walkthrough above at least get the region stuff to work for you? [/QUOTE]
