some small european companies that sell to us as well, or e.g.
SETTING MAC DVD DRIVE REGION MOVIE
Some smaller companies make those so they can sell the movie everywhere - e.g. I have seen some of the dvds that play in all regions. As long as it is just you viewing the copy, it should be ok. You own the dvd, so if you have to use a complicated way to view it I guess it's not your fault butt the movie industry's. If you have a dvd and rip it to a format that you can see, of course it should be legal. to have the apple technicians have a look on your drive costs more than you'll pay for the dvd player, so i would not suggest hassling with the possibility of breaking the apple. if you have a firmware hack on your mac, and something blows. definitely less hassling getting a cheap all-region player.
SETTING MAC DVD DRIVE REGION FREE
Some region free players also can choose whether to send out signal in pal or ntsc. I want to be able to buy any movie that i want, where ever it comes from (coding and ntsc/pal). To this there are the multi-region dvd players, which are wanted to be made illegal. in total 8 region codes, of which 0 is the universal, that should play anywhere - but even the region 0 is still either pal or ntsc. But 1 combination per country eg europe gets region 2 and pal - japan gets region 2 and ntsc, us gets 1 and ntsc and so on. There are more that 3 possible coding versions for every dvd. So, seeing a movie you like in us/europe/japan/australia/brazil/anywhere you want, would be no problem. IF all the movies were region 0 (which they should be imho) anyone could buy the movie they want - from where they want. and some movies do it the opposite way - 28 days later was being sold in dvd in uk before it came to cinema in us. so i could buy a legal dvd here before you had it in the cinema in europe. In USA and South America Disney animations come out in june/july, for example - in europe those same movies are out in cinema only for the next christmas. Movies are released in diffrent time in different countries. The region codes were created because of movie industry('s greediness). potentially they can make you break your warranty, and fixing your mac costs more than a cheap all'region player. My advice on firmware hacks (google, or search here) for dvd region codes - not worth. so his movies are seen on his mac, mine on mine. my pb is set to region 2 = europe, his mac to 1 = usa. i have europe coded movies, my bf has us coded ons. in UK the cheapest ones (in amazon uk) start like at 30 - 40 uk pounds, and that's a lot cheaper than potentially damaging your hard drive with the firmare hack gone wrong.
do you know if the world (all-region) dvd players are sold in australia? and how much would htey be? e.g. There are firmware hacks out there that enable you to change the region more than those times - but they can screw your mac as well. i don't remember the others - 0 is universal, played everwhere. if yes, you have 5 changes.ġ is US, 2 europe (pal) and japan (ntsc). When you insert a movie dvd the first time, your mac asks if you wnat to set it to that region.
