Hello, I would like to suggest a free demo/lite version of AnyDVD-HD, as such a version of CloneBD already exists. With this free version, it should be possible to watch region-restricted DVDs and BDs. (In former times, there was a free program named DVD Region Killer, but it worked only with...

Is there a way for a Video-DVD or a software saved on a CD/DVD to recognize whether it is running from a virtual drive or from a real drive (except by checking whether there are drive-simulating programs installed on the computer)? Thank you in advance and many greetings.

1. Is the Region of an RPC-2 drive saved not only in its own hardware but also somewhere in the Registry of the computer, and could this value be read (or how does a program like DVD Region Info work) ? 2. Is there a way for a software/video-DVD to recognize whether it runs from a "real" drive...

Above, a "DVD-ROM mark" is mentioned. I have some questions about that: 1. How does it work that the DVD drive of a PC can read and verify it (= recognize an original DVD), but not copy it? 2. How is this mark added to DVDs? 3. Could it be used for video-DVDs? 4. Would it be possible to bypass...

But if a game/software DVD had a code to test the DVD Region of the drive, could AnyDVD bypass this test (it has an option "Simulate an RPC-2 drive with matching Region") ? The question was NOT if AnyDVD could handle the DVD itself, BUT if it could "hide" the real Region of the drive and make...

1. Out of curiosity: DVD Regions are usually only used for Video-DVDs (The Region code is stored in the file "VIDEO_TS.IFO" [table "VMGM_MAT"], byte offsets 34 and 35), but I think they could also used as part protection of other DVDs (e.g. games). I imagine it like this: A protection program...

What about a free Lite version of AnyDVD-HD? (At least on-the-fly removal of DVD-/Blu-ray-Region and Country Code should be available, as on-the-fly-DVD-Region removal was available in the freeware DVD Region Killer.) :)

Does this also happen with the paid version or only with the free Lite version? BTW, what about a free Lite version of AnyDVD-HD? (At least on-the-fly removal of DVD-/Blu-ray-Region and Country Code should be available, as on-the-fly-DVD-Region removal was available in the freeware DVD Region...

Are there any plans to add this feature in one of the next versions?

Can anyone imagine a disc protection like the one mentioned in Post #23? Another variation: The protection would only check whether AnyDVD or DVDFab Passkey is running, and if so, a message would appear: "AnyDVD or DVDFab Passkey is running. Please close it to play this disc." After closing the...

Out of curiosity: Would it be possible to create a protection that makes a Blu-ray disc / a DVD refuse to play on a computer if AnyDVD or DVDFab Passkey is installed on it? I imagine it like that: When the player software opens the disc, the disc's protection mechanism searches the Registry of...

In the thread https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/country-code-locked-disc.63079/ a Registry value named "bdCountryCode" is mentioned in Post #26. The value is set to the code of USA, but can be changed manually. Post #39 contents a list of Country Codes of other countries. I suggest an option...

@James: Why do you want to change the Country Code? I think if Blu-ray discs from countries other than USA (e.g. Japan) have the Country-Code protection, it would be good to have a tool / an option in AnyDVD to select the Country Code. This would be easier/more comfortable than having to change...

1. Having a tool /an option in AnyDVD to change the Blu-ray Country Code would be easier than changing the Registry value manually. 2. The tool / an option in AnyDVD could also content Region resets for other Blu-ray software (e.g. WinDVD, TMT).

Here is a thread about the country code: https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/country-code-locked-disc.63079/ BTW, could it be made possible to set a country code other than the one of USA? Or, if the programmers don't want to add this option to AnyDVD directly, could anyone write a little tool...

With the list, it should be easy to add more country codes: Just copy the values. James said more space in the UI was needed, but if you handle the selection of the Blu-ray Region via a pull-down menu like the selection of the DVD Region, only one line is necessary. The pull-down menu could...

Are there any plans to add an option to circumvent BD country codes other than US? Enclosed you will find a list of BD country codes I found on the Internet. Thank you in advance :) .

Weiß jemand ein gutes DVD-Laufwerk, für das es eine gut funktionierende Autoreset-Firmware gibt, oder dessen Regionszähler auch ohne Flashen zurückgesetzt werden kann? Es sollte die gleichen Eigenschaften haben wie oben für den Brenner erwähnt. (Ich suche übrigens immer noch Vorschläge für...

Thank you for the information. Another question: How does the Region counter of a RPC-2 drive work (A locked drive with 0 changes left cannot be reset by reinstalling Windows or by using with another PC, so the drive must save the number of changes somewhere)? Why are there "user" changes and...

Hello, I have some questions about the region lock in RPC-2 DVD drives: 1. How exactly does the hardware region lock work? 2. What does AnyDVD do to bypass it, in comparison to DVD Region Killer, which works only with region-free drives? 3. How do the region locks of Matshita drives etc...
