    Download VLC player. It ignores region codes.

    DVD43 is also free and runs in the background making any disk look like it's region free, so can be accessed by any program.

    This is the first i'd heard of it tbh! Sounds great. Although I honestly couldn't tell you the last time a disk has gone into my dvd drive!
