Disc Region Code Switch?

[Tony! Hulette]

VLC Player https://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14738 it bypasses the region codes. I wouldn’t change your code to watch a DVD, use VLC instead of Quicktime player and it should work.

The other option is to use something like MacTheRipper to rip the DVD region free to your hard drive: https://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715

The last option is to find on the web a region free firmware flasher for your SuperDrive (it’s a different one for most models and brands).

Tony!

P.S. Yes, it is always nice to see you and Ron at the shows. I look forward that at each one. I’m sorry I didn’t make it back for dinner, but I was running late and the traffic in LA is really bad, so I gave and went home.

Thanks Tony! I downloaded the VLC Player– and it’s working great. You’re right, I really didn’t want to change my region code — not that I watch a lot of dvds on my computer, but you never know.

Hey Kathlyn,

While I have your attention. Is there a way to make all responses to my posts automatically get emailed to me again (like they used to)? I always forget to check that little box, because I never needed to do it before?

Tony!

I’ll ask Eric if he can. It might be something in the cookies.

Hi Tony!

It’s a cookie thing for each individual forum, so you need to set it in your browser. Make some silly response to this post (and yes, it MUST be SILLY!!! ), and click on the “Entire Thread” button before you submit it. After that, the Cow will remember this as your preference for posts you make in this forum, and that option will be the default one selected the next time you start writing a new post, or making a reply to another post.

You can also set your default preference by using the link from the posting form (where it says “you may reset your account cookies by clicking _here_”). This preference will only be used in forums where you haven’t posted before. All the other forums already are remembering what your last request was in them.

There are a few things to remember about it –
1. It’s browser dependent, so whenever you’re on a different computer or browser, you need to check to make sure that the setting is the way you want it.
2. It’s also forum dependent – it sets the current value to whatever you asked for on the last post you made in the forum, or your global default if you haven’t posted in the forum before. So, you may need to set it for each of the forums that you use, depending on what they are already doing.
3. It only remembers your most recent post – so if you ask to not get a notification on a post, that’s the value that it will hold on to until you change it again.
4. I forgot what four was. Shame on me.

Anyway. Click the button next to “Entire Thread”, and then write something silly. It should work properly (in this forum) after that.

OK Eric, I giving it a shot. I wonder how it changed for me? It always sent me notices of responses to my posts in the past from all the forums. Maybe my cookies got reset?

Thanks for all the detailed info.

Tony!

P.S. I’m using Safari by the way.
