VLC - does it play disks?

Used to be a big thing, region locking. It's been a long time but it seems there were tricks to work around the region locking, though I think there were also limits. [...]

About 20 years ago, I was impressed by how I could buy Region 0 (ie, non-locked) disks from the US National Parks shops and play them at home on my UK m/c.  If they really have dumped that region nonsense, then (as folk used to say) good riddance to bad rubbish.

ISTR Apple m/cs (maybe other brands too) allowed a sequence of five region changes and stuck to the fifth.  But, as you say, reputedly there were fixes Out There In Naughty Land.

Hi All

Probably 1 of the best sites providing "fixes Out There In Naughty Land"  https://tdb.rpc1.org/

I must admit to having successfully used their firmware variants on many DVDRWs in the past  :-)
