mjw Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I just discovered that my new Macbook requires you to set a region code and will only let you change the code 4 more times. I have the dual layer dvd writer MAT{censored}A (aka Matsu{censored}a) UJ-857 which I believe is common in Macbooks and Macbook pros. Both Mac the Riper and VLC do NOT work to get around the region coding process as the drive appears to not allow dvds with unknown regions to even be accessed. Hacked firmwares are also not available. Is anyone working on this problem?

If thats true, id have to say its pretty {censored} of apple to do something like that. just because someone is playing a pal dvd in an ntsc country or vice versa doesnt mean that its pirated...
