Post by: mroilfield on April 16, 2012, 04:37:23 AM: Reads all my dvds. Since I travel a lot around the world I have several dvds from different regions and it even reads those once I use anydvd to compensate for the region code.

What kind of dvds are you having problems with it not reading?

o i dont have that in my version
The simple solution would be to DLoad the latest version which has that option...

PS...the DVD's may have copyright /or region protection on them...
Provide more details on these DVD's and how they were created....

Have a look here:
