I currently have a region 2 DVD-ROM drive with DVDExpress playing software on my PC. I have a couple of questions which you might be able to help me with.
a) What is the best DVD player software? (I know there are a lot of different options and most people will diagree on which is the best but I though it might be possible to get a feel for what is generally well tought of, as opposed to dVDExpress which I think is crap.)
b) As I don`t really want to do anything to the firmware on my R2 DVD-ROM drive (a friend tried to redo his and ruined his drive - don`t know why), would it be possible to add a separate R1 DVD-ROM drive and load another player software package to handle R1 discs, keeping them entirely separate (i.e. R1 would have a separate player/drive set from R2)? Would the hardware or software interfere between the two region setups?
cheers,
Gareth

I say WINDVD is the best....however..it depends on your graphics card..
Why add another DVD ROM?....if you`re willing to pay the money for another one why not just flash the firmware and if you somehow manage to make a balls of it...you can buy a new one...
but its very hard to make your drive unusable if you follow the instuctions carefully...
