    I'm just wondering what is the best DVD player for your pc. The one that came with this pc gives me a limited amount of region changes. It says i have 4 left at the moment, and when they run out it will be quite annoying as i have some American DVD's aswell as our home region DVD's.

    Cheers.

    If your DVD ROM drive enforces region change limits by its firmware, it may be possible to download a firmware upgrade to remove the region protection. I remember seeing a site for this but I can't remember where, unfortunately.

    DvdGenie, works on all major software players. Lifesaver.

    Powerdvd is the best for PC
    it's region free, you have to pay for it but it is worth it
    What is now was once only imagined.

    Eh... I have Power DVD 2.55 - it asks to set the region of my DVD player when I install it, but limits it to 5 region changes.
