Just recieved an Area 4 (Australia) DVD , I live in Area 1 (USA). wont play on my DVD/TV set up or my PC . anyone know a down-loadable program which will allow me to watch it without screwing my PC .
Also seem to remember reading somewhere a while ago that it was also possible to open up a DVD player and disable the 'restriction' chip to allow the playing of any area restriced DVD , anyone know how to do it ?
thanks
