Region free DVD players

[Tsaico]

I am just curious to see if there are any stand alone DVD players that are region free or software programs that will allow me to play imported DVDs or domestic.

Link.

Can't vouch for it - that's just what google turned up.

I use software called DVD Genie. Basically, it resets the counter in Windows and in the Windows DVD software (I'm using WinDVD). Of course you'll also need a region-free DVD-ROM. I have a Samsung 5x (made in '99 prior to "regions") that works great.

I was looking for a stand-alone DVD player just recently, and in my search I discovered there are outfits that take certain DVD players, modify them to be "region free", and then sell them via the internet. I imagine they work ok, but you can surely kiss the mfg. warranty goodbye on these units (though that might not be a concern for some people). Just do a Yahoo or Google search for "region free DVD" and you'll find a lot of them.

If you want to get a truely region free, macrovision free dvd player, buy an imported non-US model.

pretty much all DVD players are firmware upgradeable and can be flashed with a hacked version, even the standalone players- there's quite a few sites with firmware hacks available, you have to burn them on a cdr and insert them into the player.
