Power dvd software on XP

This must be crackable- the software on my xp pc will only play region2, all the sites for cracks seem to be german and inconprehensible, and this sites faq`s refer you to a site that is up for sale and therefore u/s. This must be really simple...or should I be looking for anew piece of dvd playing software that is already region free? Advice please....

if the drive was manufactured after 2000 you will almost certainly need to flash it as the region code is built into the drive itself (you usualy get 4 or changes before it locks up) it seems fairly simple to do (havn`t done it myself though) however if it goes wrong it can lead to a dead drive

Try this site:

http://www.dvdidle.com/

They sell an excellent utility for $40 which completely region frees ANY DVD-ROM drive and works with pretty much every software DVD player. You don`t have to flash the firmware and it even works if you have locked out your drive.

Have fun!
