I can’t bypass the DVD region codes!
I have ripped several region 1 DVDs and the time has come to rip a couple of local region 3 DVDs. And whatever I do, I can’t seem to bypass the region code checking.
Mac the Ripper pops the following messages:
VLC gives me the following error message:
Handbrake can’t open the file.
I’ve also been giving Fairmount a try, which claims that it will replace the original DVD on the desktop by a decrypted disc image of this DVD. It still doesn’t work.
There is also a program somewhere called Region X, but according to the Macworld forums, it is no longer supported and has some problems with Leopard.
Looks like if I truly want to rip Region 3 DVDs, I have to purchase a new DVD drive.
