It's quite old and useless as far as playing DVDs is concerned.
Understandably, then, it's probably not worth pursuing.

You really think Sony would hide something like that in their players?
Actually it's surprising how many region free instructions I've seen for Sony standalone players.
I would find that surprising, yes. They're not the most consumer friendly bunch on the planet...
It's not as though Sony wants you to have a region free standalone dvd player.

That said I never have no never will own a CD player, DVD player or PC DVD drive from Sony.
The .ca should have given it away, eh?
Be careful Drink or a man with a red blazer on horseback may come to your house and rip the hard drive out of your PC oliceman:
I could be wrong, but I don't believe there's a way to not make your dvd-video backups region free with Anydvd. I'm pretty sure
unchecking "software region code", "hardware region code", and "region code scripts" will still make your backup region free.
Edit: I just tested this, and I'm right.
Then something is wrong with anydvd. Isn't supposedly to leave the region code in the dvd if you uncheck those options?

Not a huge deal I guess because I can always backup the originals again but how do I get any future backup copies to not be Region Free? Under AnyDVD Settings/Feature Removal I unchecked the Software Region Code and made a backup but it still came out Region Free. What changes to AnyDVD do I have to make to leave the region as 1 on the backup?

I hardly know anything about the region coding but I noticed the shrink has an option to set the region code before you encode the movie. Would that possibly help the situation? I don't kow if you use shrink at all but I guess it would be worth a shot.
