Slightly "off topic" I know but I ran into a problem this weekend.
My DVD ROM that I use to rip movies has become region locked in region 2 and won't allow me to play discs from any other region.(I wanted to try "The Great Escape" but failed miserably) Anything that I can find on the topic tells me that this is irreversible.
Has anyone else encountered this and, more importantly, found a solution.
Asus K8N nVidia nForce3 Pro 250 GB, Athlon 64 3200+, Hitachi 80 gig SATA 150, Corsair XMS 1 gig PC4000, ATI Radeon Saphire 9600 Pro (256 DDR), Windows XP Pro (64 Bit),Lite-ON SOHD 167T,, Plextor PX-712SA,BenQ 1640.
I just wanted to pass on my gratitude for your directions. Followed your link and resolved the situation. Last night I was able to rip from a region 1 disk to hard drive and convert as usual.
Once again, this forum has sorted out a problem for me.

Your quite welcome m8. If you do dvd rips on a routine basis and find your brand to be on the slow end then take my advice and grab a LiteOn LTD 163/165/166. The dvd-roms (in my opinion) are the best "all in one" dvd-roms you'll find. They rips dvd's at 11-12x audio around 23x and superior dae accuracy as well.
