what about videolan? I thought VLC could play DVDs from any region, by bypassing much of the DVD player's firmware, and just reading raw data from the disk.

This does mean that it takes more CPU work to watch a DVD, so if you have an old computer like mine, you might find it's underpowered for videolan. On my G3 300 the video is quite skippy...

First of all: who on earth would buy a DVD player if they knew it would explode? Second: the government wouldn't allow it. Heck: carry it on a plane with a portable screen and kill all the people onboard sounds like a good idea to me. And finally third: FAKE!
