Im currently going to school in England and over here they use PAL a.k.a. Region 2. The USA standard is of course NSTC a.k.a. Region 1. I would like to both rent and borrow DVDs from both regions. The problem is the DVD player will only let you change regions 4 times, after that you are stuck. Ive tried to delete DVD Player Prefs, CD/DVD Prefs and delete and reinstall the DVD Player to no avail. Does anyone have any clue as to how to reset this?



Im assuming Apple has done this due to a legal requirement, not by their choice.

    There are a lot of good hacks out there, they are not illegal in most places...

    Try <a href="http://www.opuscc.com/download/"; target="_blank">here</a>.



    I can't offer any guarantees that they won't screw your Mac, though.



    Perhaps other people here have tried them?

    go to the following link. read its dirctions over 4 or 5 times. follow the directions exactly. print them out before hand. make sure you understand them.

    then DO it! i live in japan, but i have all region 1 disks. it is a $saver.
