Help Unlocking DVD Regions Code?


Hi,

I recently purchaced a DVD set from Australia. I am from the US. I was
wondering if there's anyway to unlock my region codes on my DVD player.


I've got a

Magnavox MSD125.

Thanks!

You could use DVD43 on your computer and dvd-shrink to copy the discs in
case you can't get the unlock codes.

Out of curiosity, what DVD set did you get?

Before you do that, does your TV set support PAL?

One possibility is (and I'm serious) get someone traveling from Australia
to buy an Australian DVD player. You'd need a transformer for the
electricity supply, but most Australian players will play anything. Region
coding is restraint of trade.
Like printers, the actual machine is usually very cheap, because you are
going to have to buy discs (or cartridges in the case of printers).

So I can watch any DVD on my television, but I can only watch region 4 on
my Macintosh computer!

Hi Sammie,

I think your biggest issue is the PAL format...

In AUSTRALIA our players almost always will playback PAL AND NTSC disks
with no drama.. In the US and CA I believe they will ONLY play NTSC
format disks so even if you overcame the region code you are up the
preverbial creek without a paddle.. of course you should be able to
watch them on your PC and then maybe you can convert to Xvid and convert
back to NTSC DVD... but a lot of work

Cu

Mik

Videohelp.com reports no hacks ever posted on this model (Magnavox MSD125)
but maybe you could try the hack for the 124? It seems you have chosen the
one DVD player that hasn't had a hack published..
