Region crack for PowerDVD 4.0 ???

I have heard some rumors that there is somekind of reqion cracked PowerDVD available. No other software (e.g. DVDGenie) is needed to set region. Does somebody know this or where it can be downloaded ??? I've tryed to find it with no success.
I'am intrested cos I have some troubles with DVDGenie on my Win XP.

interesting indeed. I've tried messing around in the registry a little with powerDVD 4XP. If you open regedit & go to where powerDVD is located (hkey_local_machine\software\cyberlink\powerdvd) you should notice these new dwords:
RCD 0x00000001(1)
RCD_Ns 0x00000004(4)

these 2 are added after one region setting/change. This is for region one (RCD value) & how many more changes you have left (RCD_Ns). I know what you're thinking. Why not just change the values to hex 0 (which is region free), well it doesn't work. PowerDVD recognizes if you change these values & the player will give you an error. I would think the hack would have to be either somewhere with these 2 dwords or someplace else under microsoft registy. (maybe a "b" value instead of "0").
Anyhow, I guess this doesn't answer your question, but you can always try DVD Region Killer. Have seen in other forums that it works well with PowerDVD 4.

yes that's a very good point roadworker. Make sure your DVD-ROM drive is region free first (RPC1), otherwise if your drive is a region locked version (RPC2) then the decoder in PowerDVD or any other software, will read off your drive & that is all you have. You will need to have a region free Drive first, before you can properly use dvdgenie or or other region killing software.
You can check your drive by using this tool:
driveinfo--> h**p://www.visualdomain.net

& if your drive is region locked version, then if you feel adventurous enough, you can try to patch yours (like I did mine) with a flashing tool here:
h**p://perso.club-internet.fr/farzeno/firmware/

read everything very carefully on that page.
Good luck.

Jep that was my mistake, DVD drive is RPC1.
And yes, I have also tryed Region Killer software with even more problems than DVDgenie.

Elby's Region killer doesn't work at all in my PC.
Setting are like they should be (I think) but when disc is inserted to DVD drive PowerDVD starts and asks me to change region. If I have understand correcly this should not be happen ?!?

DVDgenie works quite well. But autoplay was killed after DVDgenie is installed. I meen everything CD audio, CD-ROM games and DVD movies doesn't start anymore automaticly.
And DVD point of view when disc is inserted in drive I have to click DVDgenie icon in tray to open it and then click Run Player button. Now I can watch DVD movies. Even settings in DVDgenie are Auto Region selection enabled, Auto Run selected player enabled and Minimize DVDgenie to tray enabled. Nothing happens automaticly, why ??? And why this Autoplay function is killed ???

If somebody has some information how I can get rid of this problem I would be very pleased. Either with DVDGenie or Region Killer or maybe some other software.

How can I set the REGION FREE?

I downloaded the DriveRegionInfo, and the attached file shows you what it tells me: my PIONEER DVD 303 is an R, not a region free S.
But it also says I've got 4 changes left...what does that mean?
How can I unlock my drive?

hi JaLe,

Just make sure your DVD-drive is RPC1,

So all the software player will region-free,
just change the region if the software ask,
don't worry, it will UNLIMITED region change ;)

That's what RPC1 for, no unlimited region change,
so it's called region free, 'cause you could change
the region could unlimited not like the RPC2 which
only allow 5x region change!.

Peace.
