    Region-free with PowerDVD or WinDVD?

    hey there i'm new here so wondering if you all could help me out...

    i'm running winXP right now and am trying to use DVD Genie 4.05 (newest i think) to get region-free functions with either WinDVD 2.3 or PowerDVD. however, i found out about dvd genie all too late, because i've used up all my "region-change before permanent" option. apparently, dvd genie doesn't seem to help anymore perhaps because of that.

    anybody have any ideas? i've read of a program or a registry code for windows that resets the region-change back up to 4 (or was it 5). is this making any sense to anybody?

      Hello,

      I have also installed XP with WinDVD 3.2, DVD genie 4.05 4.10 does not reset the counter, even though I have 2 remaining region changes.

      Would appreciate your help.

          You need to flash the firmware of your DVD drive and make it region-free (RPC-1). Only then can you get an unlimited number of region changes for the drive.

          I'm not an experienced player in this (having owned and region-freed only one DVD drive so far), but anyway, after flashing my drive, changing regions is as simple as just telling PowerDVD of it. I have no need for DVD Genie.

          p.s. Check this site out.

                  You should try the software "DVD Region-Free" at http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm

                  You don't need flash any firmware, the software doesn't touch the Region Counter too, but you can watch all region DVDs with it. Have a try!

                  Best Regards,
