Hi all,
I have a question re the DVD region settings of my MBP's default PAL (Region 2) DVD player. I buy a lot of NTSC discs (Region 1) and since I would have to change the region settings all the time on my MBP (and I can only do that so many times) I was wondering where the Region settings are stored on the computer - is it software or hardware (firmware) based? I don't want any hacks to screw up my computer but instead I have been thinking about getting an external DVD player set the Region to 2 on that and keep the Region 1 setting on my MBP.
Is that possible? I assume if it's software dependent I will not be able to change this but if its firmware maybe I can keep one PAL drive (internal) and one NTSC drive (external) at the same time.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers.
