Setting the region
Hi... noone has explained to me the thing about setting the region on the DVD burner. I just ran in to this text on the net: You have 5 times in Windows to set it to one of the 6 regions. When you have 1 more region setting left make sure you pick the correct one that your collection of DVDs is in.
But there must be a way to make it region code free? I got a NEC ND-2500A that i havn't picked up from the package yet.

hmm... i just found something... it seems like the best thing would be to get a new firmware? but if i can get around that i will... don't realy trust thouse hacked firmwares...
i found a program called "DVD Region-Free" ( http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm ) that seems to make all other appz think the drive is region code free (RPC-1). Has anyone tested this app? Whats the diffrent between this app and AnyDVD ( http://www.slysoft.com/ ) ? Iv'e never used AnyDVD, will AnyDVD make the DVD completly region free also? So I don't have to choose region on the DVD at all? thnx for al good advices!

usually there is nothing wrong with hacked firmwares (you can 'trust' them...).
but you _always_ risk to fry your drive and you lose the warranty.

jea... its not that i refuse to change firmware... but it seems like a good idea not to flash the drive, if i don't have to... i've installed AnyDVD now, and it seems to work perfekt!
 i havnt choosed wich region i want my dvd to be yet (5 changes left), but when i use AnyDVD it simulates that i have choosed region 2, and that i have 4 changes left. But what happends if i put in a region 1 disk? do i have to change the settings in AnyDVD then?And as I understand AnyDVD prevents the programs to read the actual settings? what happends then if i make a 1:1 direkt copy of a DVD5 ? does the copy get the region settings and so on from AnyDVD, or from the actual DVD?

no, the copy is totally 'clean' of all restrictions and protections!

the region you set in anydvd is for software only. the software (e.g. powerdvd, clonedvd) will only see the region you set in anydvd although the actual dvd may have a different region.
but if your hardware (dvd-drive) is not region-free i think the drive will change the region leaving you only 4 changes left.
