Re: multizone external DVD was: Re: New MacMini optical drive
Hmm I'll try this... I'm sure, like 100% sure, I have in the past ( a few years ago) but had some serious issues (subtitles? Language selection? Menu functions?) that drove me back to playing on a multi zone TV/DVD setup.

New MacMini optical drive
The following web pages give some idea of the cost of adding an external optical drive to the new MacMini. For an external, bus powered, optical drive enclosure http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VLSS9TOPTU2/ For the actual drive http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/UJ867A/ Note prices are in US$. You need to add postage of about US$ 10. No Australian duty payable if total order is under AU$ 1000 I suspect that these items will become difficult to source over the next few months. Check with Daniel Kerr if he can supply these items locally.

multizone external DVD was: Re: New MacMini optical drive
This reminds me of something I was going to ask a few weeks back - Does anybody know the best setup for an external multizone DVD player for a macbook pro and mac book air setup? I've recently acquired a reasonably large DVD collection from someone who's upgraded to BlueRay but a number of them are zone 1 or 2. My macbook is saying there are only 3 zone changes left and not really wanting to flash the bios on this (or even sure if it is possible). If the external ones are multi zone or have unlimited zone changes that would be great but if the prices are low enough I wouldn't mind getting one each for zone 1 and 2. thanks From: Ashley Mulder ashley.mul...@student.curtin.edu.aumailto:ashley.mul...@student.curtin.edu.au Reply-To: wamug wamug@wamug.org.aumailto:wamug@wamug.org.au Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:25:33 +0800 To: wamug wamug@wamug.org.aumailto:wamug@wamug.org.au Subject: Re: New MacMini optical drive Or just buy an external drive from JB hifi http://www.macworld.com.au/gadget-guide/lite-on-enau-33355/ lite-on eNau series of drives are usb powered and cheap ($80) On 21/07/2011, at 9:49 AM, Ray Forma wrote: The following web pages give some idea of the cost of adding an external optical drive to the new MacMini.

Hi Mark, Try play them with VLC which shouldn't ask you to change region code.
