Mac Notebook DVD Region

Not sure where to post this really, but.......

my mac notebook allowed the DVD region to be changed region wise 5 times and is now stuck/fixed on region one which is no good.

Does anyone know what I can do to switch it to region 2??

Thanks

I wish that sellers of apple would tell you about the drama of playing regions and let you know which region your macbook is. Don't get why they are bringing region one set macbooks to doha...in place of a commonly used region.......typical I suppose...

thanks......shall search online for an option (although did try VLC) and look into your suggestion of an external USB drive...

thanks

Many people dont know this...

Region protection has only troubled genuine DVD buyers like torc but never bothered hackers.

There are ways to skip the region detection...but before it gets locked...and if it was a Windows PC.

Other method would be to buy an external USB DVD drive then too I wouldnt be able to help you as you use Apple.
