Thu, 27 Sep 2007 quidam 'Anthony E. Caudel' inquit ita:
Thinking about ordering a DVD from Amazon.uk (not available here in the
US). It is a region 2 DVD and is in PAL format unlike the NTSC here in
the states.
Will the DVD play in Mplayer?
It not so much mplayers problem as it is wether your DVD drive can be
set to region 2 or 0 (regionfree).
There is a tool called "regionset" which will let you reprogram the
drive, but most drives only let you do that a limited number or times
(ususally 3-5).
An alternative would be to get hold of a regionless firmware somewhere
on the internet and flash the drive with that, but this is most likely
illegal in your country under the DMCA.
HTH,
Peter
