yup just a software install.
look up anydvd

altho you may need a firmware patch for it to work.
PM me the name of your DVD Drive and I can check it our for you when I get some time.

Back on topic.
I just seen DeathDream!
Was a cool "zombie" flick. not gory at all and quite not very action packed but oozed atmosphere.
Third Bob Clark film I seen now and its my 2nd fav, first being Black Xmas. Did not enjoy Children though.

you just need to download VLC player as it bypasses region coding. Also just type the make and model of you're dvd player into google and add region hack on the end and you should be able to find the code to unlock it. I've never bought a region free player in my life, i've unlocked them all...

thats not fully correct
VLC will play any region discs IF you have a RPC1 drive.
All 2nd gen from 2001/2002 on are mostly RPC2 although are are some exceptions, these drives cannot play back any other region without firmware hack.

Thanks a lot for the info guys. I just tried a couple of region 1 discs with VLC player and they worked fine. Sorted.

Watched Hard Revenge Milly and it's excellent sequel Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle last night. If anyone has ever seen The Machine Girl (which I also highly recommend

) then you will love this fantastic ultra-violent japanese series! Let's hope they make a third film!!!

Here is the trailer for Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle:
