The DVD superdrive on my laptop is set to R2. MTR works fine so long as the DVD is a region code 2. If I try the same film as a region code 1 edition all I get is bad sectors and the Video_TS won't play. The discs themselves are not faulty as they all play fine on my region code free DVD-Video player.

I have observed this phenomena with countless R1/R2 films now.

I am fairly sure the solution would be to have a second, external DVD reader/burner which is set to region code 1. However I have no idea if this is actually possible and if so hot to go about it.

(Or alternatively making the Superdrive region code free - but I'm a bit hesitant about doing that.)

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Had the same problem - I'm UK and internal drive set to Region2 (changed it once or so but no more - was scared of going past the 'five changes' mark and getting stuck as a Region 1.
I bought a LaCie external recorder/player which I use permanently as my Region 1 player (and addtional recorder drive) and rip from that, no probs. MTR automatically senses this drive is present, as acts just the same as when there is a disc in the internal drive.
