[nzlug] Removing region info from DVD

[Warren Boyd]

What sort of DVD player is it ... it's possible that the your player  
can be "unlocked"

As I understand it, you will need to rip and re-encode the DVD to  
either regionless or the "correct" region... as the "region settings  
are encoded directly into the stream???


I think I'll abstain from ranting about how regions are design solely  
to piss off consumers ...

HTH,
Warren.
