Paj! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hey, I'm a Mac user, and was just wondering, as I watch a lot of DVDs on it, I'd love to know if it was region-free. I want Season 2 of Twin Peaks, but to buy it for this region is very expensive, but it's decently priced were I to get Region 1. My dad mentioned something about it locking onto a certain region after a few DVDs of that region have been used in it... Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShavenWolf Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You can play DVDs from any region on a Mac for up to - I think - 5 times using the standard DVD player included. However, I'm 99.8% sure VLC can play region free DVDs http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 So wait...I can't play Region 1's on my Mac of 2 years, on which I've played zillions of Region 2 DVD's? Is that the gist? Thanks for that link...I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 VLC, though there are reports that it doesn't work on newer macs. Never tried it myself though You can change the region drive of your mac up to 5 times. It becomes permanent after the fifth change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
