Then I would go to the Microsoft TechNet and download the evaluation version of Windows 8 Enterprise and install that to the virtual machine. If you don't have access to a Windows PC, or a virtual machine already then I would download the trial of VMWare Fusion (or Parallels) for my Macbook. Honestly if my DVD drive was stuck on a region I would do the following in your case. But I think those programs work only on Windows. Remember never to set the Region of the drive.Īlternatively if you have a program like DVDDecryptor or AnyDVD you can make a copy of the disc with a new region code on it or region free. But it will if might if you use an external DVD drive. This may even work for the previous gen MacBook pro which already have DVD drives, the only thing is if they already set the region code then probably not work. Then plug in the external drive and insert the DVD. Set the following to 'Ignore' for When you insert a video DVD In the end the solution is to go to System Preferences > Hardware CDs and DVDs > I refused and watched the DVD on my desktop instead. Right away it prompted me to set the Region of the drive to 2. When I first plugged it in to my Macbook Pro Retina, I inserted a Region 2 disc from Italy. What worked for me, I have an external Blue Ray Drive from Asus that I use on my Windows PC.

WHY THE **** IS SOUTH AMERICA THE SAME AS THE AUSTRALIAN REGION, WHAT TV/ FILM WOULD I WANT FROM SOUTH AMERICA!? Is there no solution while I still have these discs? NO WONDER DVDS ARE DEAD! NO WONDER DVD STORES AND SHOPS ARE CLOSING DOWN EVERYWHERE! Pathetic region codes killed DVDs. Only instead of a burglar earning a buck, it would be like the owner of the store I bought it from coming to my house to steal back the DVD. THIS IS ROBBERY! MY COMPUTER AND THIS DISC ARE TRYING TO ROB ME! AND IF MY FINAL REGION CHANGE IS TO REGION 4, I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WATCH A SPECIAL EDITION DVD AGAIN!? A WASTE OF $100+! That is robbery, plain and simple. ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING? Why are there region code restrictions!? SO IF I WANT TO WATCH THE OTHER EPISODES THEN THIS AGAIN, I CAN ONLY CHANGE MY REGION 2 MORE TIMES!!? EVER!? I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WATCH EITHER THIS EPISODE OR THE OTHER EPISODES, EVER AGAIN!? EVER? For 'Extras' TV series:ĭisc 5!!!! Disc 5 is the special last episode! I CANNOT WATCH IT UNLESS I CHANGE THE REGION OF MY DVD DRIVE. Those special DVDs were for region 2 (BBC The Tudors collection $100, NOT MADE FOR ANY OTHER REGION, OKAY?). As you can see, I've set my DVD drive to region 2, because certain DVD collections from England are limited edition, special collections and HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE FOR ANY OTHER REGION. I bought this show from an Australian store (I live in Australia).
