In many threads here it has been reported that you can view other region DVD's in VLC and rip them in MacTheRipper without changing the region of your superdrive.
However, I have also noticed that several people with newer hardware (Rev D Powerbook for example) cannot view out of region DVD's in VLC nor rip them in MacTheRipper.
There has been a suggestion that Apple have closed the 'loophole' that allowed you to use VLC and MacTheRipper on DVD's that were different to the region setting of the superdrive.
Can anyone confirm this?
