| The Region Question for DVD Movies.. I would like to share some of my experience. You remember my question about the DVD? Well, I looked around myself, and found what after several comparisons looks like a good firmware replacement, a good player (Power DVD), and a good player add-on (DVD Genie). Possibly this combination is the best around, and actually, after my research I found it all described here as well: http://www.pilif.ch/stuff/dvd/index.php <http://www.pilif.ch/stuff/dvd/index.php> . It worked very smoothly for me. The firmware writer is from Matshita itself, just the ROM is patched, and you can save the existing version, which in my case was the same as the one mentioned in the article. The player software ranks among the top three (usually spot 1 or 2) depending on who you ask, but what counts here is the interaction between the components, such as autodetection of the area code by DVD Genie which automatically changes something in the player. I know, it's not so important if you are in the US, but people from outside often need to access US DVDs. Important: anybody doing this should be sure to have played a DVD at least once before patching the firmware. |
