Play Region 2 DVD on Region 1 Laptop

Recommended Posts

As the title says, I want to be able to play region 2 dvds on my laptop in the US, without the change your region code 5 times and then get stuck thing. I have seen varying reports of this being as simple as using VLC or requiring you to copy the DVD. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's wanted to do this, so what's the easiest way? Will Win7 let me change my region to 0 and will my region 1 dvds still play?

 

Reason: I want The Aristocats in German. And potentially other movies eventually as well. Mostly I just want the Aristocats, and it costs the same in German/English as it does in just English, so...

 

edit: I get 4 changes before it locks. But I do have two virtual drives and could theoretically add as many as I wanted, each with one region, and just make sure the disc gets mounted to the right drive, right?

I use VLC to play DVDs from multiple regions with no problems and no switching region codes.
