dvd player in my laptop sucks

[pookie]

hi, i recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop witha built in DVD burner. But after playing a few movies on it I find i am unable to play more than one particular region/country code.

This sucks becuse many of my DVDs are from around the world , so I need region-free?

I was never told of this rubbish before i bought the laptop.

What can/should i do to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Pookie,

Find out the brand of the burner, then google it against region free. There are many sites that have region free codes and or fixes to mod DVD players.

Cheers

Have flashed a few of my drives from their site

AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. You can also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player and with any DVD player software.
