Hello. AnyDVD will pull off the region code. There's another thing to factor in-the format of your dvds. There's NTSC which is what the USA, Japan,and some others. Then there's PAL,which it mostly european and australia,and some other countries.If you run into that format issue,there's other ways around it.They can be transfered from 1 to the other.There's some hacked firmware out there that'll set your drive region free. Just post back the brand name,model#,and current firmware version of your DVD-RW drive.HP a1118x-b/athlon 64-3300+/BenQ 1650 BCDC/LG 8163B/Modded Wii/Epson-R300 and Ty Watershields!!!
