DVD region???

[Christina]

Hi

I have a HP DVD burner and have now bought a couple of DVD on the internet.
I didn't know they were from the wrong region (didn't even know about
different region before I bought them).
I now understand that there are software available to make the DVD regionfree.

I wonder if anyone knows about a free good software that I can install to
look at my DVDs?

DVD43, a homonym for DVD for free.

The freeware software you require is called: DVD Genie
Type that in search and follow the tutorials

Hello, DVD43 is no longer a download from the site listed. Finland recently
passed laws making this type of software illegal.
take care.

Thanks for your answers. The software doesn't seem to be a freeware though.
