I have a macbook and would like to play DVD's from different regions, atm the region is set to 2 and I only have 4 more changes left, is there a way to have unlimited changes??

Thanks.

I have been researching this and apparently with notebooks i.e. macbook/pro, you cannot flash the firmware. What someone recommended macbook/pro users to do was to either as you said use VLC or play the dvd via windows (bootcamp etc.).
Ive tried using VLC but it doesnt play :S

replacing a drive abit too much hassle for me, i always thought the region lock was software locked

I have changed to dvd/cd settings to just mount the dvd when i insert a dvd movie so that it does not load dvd player. i then open vlc and try to open the dvd, it tried to open it but fails to.

Has anyone got vlc to play different region dvds on a macbook?
