Just unlock your player. Google should provide you with the correct procedure.
With cheap DVD players down to about $50, just buy another player and set it to Region 2.
There are so many bad assumptions here!
bad#1: that all dvd players come with secret decoder rings to change their region code.
bad#2: that ANY of them do. A very small amount of dvd players have the ability to add patches to them, these all (in every case) need you to run Windows code to get these patches installed, and I don't run Windows, anywhere, anytime.
bad#3: that I have the time and willingness to talk my good friend, the really truly stubborn one who doesn't' know computers so well, that his dvd player should change. He and I are family, and I just need to present him with clean copy. This should be a software thing, not hardware, just so I don't need to argue with my friend over that.
I just spent a LOT of unfun time on google over this. I would rather spend days fixing cdrecord than minutes on the hardware, or telling folks who I don't want to boot Windows
