I have the region A release of Amagami SS+ from Sentai Filmworks, and wish to play it with power dvd14, but because it is set up for a Japanese system the disc will not play and a black screen is displayed saying the disc is intended for US/CA use only and will not play. Anydvd 7.5.8.3 says the disc is region free which means that it should play on my system but will go no further than the warning screen. After some digging into the disc with BDedit040 in the bdmv portion of the disc came across a command line that read ;PSR 19: COUNTRY CODE (B15-B0). Started doing some more digging and came across some uk blu-ray forums saying the company had started something called country code/geo locking of disc to prevent the disc from playback regardless of the fact that Japan and the US share a blu-ray region thus making the disc all but useless to me with my system. Funimation has started doing similar things with disc locking them into US only play or locking subs or audio to only play on systems originating within the US making them fully or partially blocked on systems out side of the US.
